How To Improve The Netapp Storage Performance?

Answer»

There is no direct answer for this question but we shall do it in several way. 

  • If volume/lun present in ATA/SATA harddisk aggregate, then the volume can be migrated to FC/SAS disk aggregate. Either you can use flash cache to improve performance.
  • For NFS/CIFS instead of ACCESSING from single INTERFACE, multi mode vif can be configured to get better bandwidth and fault tolerance.
  • Always advised to keep aggr/vol utilization below 90%.
  • Avoid doing multiple volume backup in single point of time.
  • Aggr/volume/lun reallocation can be done to re–distribute the DATA to multiple disk for better striping performance.
  • Schedule scrubbing and De-duplication scanning after business hours.
  • Create multiple loops and connect different types of shelf's to each loop
  • Avoid mixing up different speeds of disk and different types of disk in a same aggregate.
  • Always keep sufficient spare disk to replace in case of disk failure. Because reconstruction time will take more time and cause negative performance.
  • Keep the advised version of firmware/software which is recommended by NETAPP.
