If you missed it, there was a release on Friday of 2.0RC1. I upgraded the 1.1 vsphere version I was using, and I’m very impressed with the new version. Instead of having to search for only a few object types, the new version has drill down from the cluster
level and data on lifs, ports, nodes, etc. The upgrade was basically painless, also.
No, it's barely functional. It's got a lot of promise, but lacks some very basic features I'd have expected in 1.0. Storage performance management is the achilles heel of most storage vendors, and this is no exception. I hope Netapp will put
together some sort of focus group to guide the next few iterations. It really does have promise- of all the useless performance applications I've used, this one does the coolest useless tricks... like their algorithm for determining bully volumes and telling
you which layer the problem is at.
