Hmm... That's interesting. Is there a CPU usage threshold before the filer becomes "Busy"? Is it 60%, 70% or what?
It's probably "busy" in the sense of heavy disk activity. Which might be associated with high CPU usage but not necessarily. As someone else noted, frequent rdates can do it too. Perhaps running a backup?
I know certain models and certain OSes are less prone to this, but I don't know the details of how Netapp currently views the situation.

If I recall correctly, NetApp suggests you don't cron rdate's to run on the hour because it's possible to step the clock past the hour and miss a scheduled event such as raid scrubbing or snapshots. I beleive I read this on NOW, not sure.
