If it's VSM and FlexVols, it might be deswizzling. I wouldn't worry much about it. There are back-end WAFL threads that run when nothing else runs. If actual work shows up, they back off. CPU isn't always a good performance indicator.
Most of the other commands are hidden and not very customer-friendly. Things like wafl_stat and statit will show you all sorts of things, but you pretty much need to be trained on them to read them properly.

Hi Guys,
Any reason why CPU utilization on my snapmirror destination is always at 20%??? My production filer is much less than that. The Snapmirror only happens once per day. All other indicators seem idle. Here is a sample output:
CPU NFS CIFS HTTP Net kB/s Disk kB/s Tape kB/s Cache in out read write read write age 22% 0 0 0 1 1 65 59 0 0 4 20% 0 0 0 1 0 121 120 0 0 4 26% 0 0 0 1 1 336 59 0 0 3 22% 0 0 0 1 1 2017 472 0 0 3 23% 0 0 0 1 0 2461 413 0 0 3 22% 0 0 0 1 0 2334 182 0 0 3 24% 0 0 0 1 1 1307 206 0 0 3 20% 0 0 0 1 1 61 59 0 0 3 22% 0 0 0 1 0 123 118 0 0 3
Another question -- Is there a way I can monitor utilization/performance of NVRAM and Memory? What other perf commands can I use other than sysstat?
Thanks
