We have a FAS270, single shelf running 7.2.2. Since Monday morning it has really started to slow down. There has been no appreciable change in the environment, ie no large data additions, no increase in users, no hardware failures, etc. The messages file is only complaining about being unable to bind to a particular WINS server and being unable to get to our ntp server, both issues we are aware of and working through - neither should cause this though. The 'ps' command provides a huge amount of data, mostly meaningless. The 'statit' command is almost undocumented. Does anyone have any recommendations about where to start looking?
recommendations about where to start looking?
Post the output of 'sysstat -x' . This will give a clue about the disks and what CPs the filer is doing.
The cp_ output of wafl_susp could also be interesting.
(Switch to advanced mode, run wafl_susp -z , wait about 5-10 min, run wafl_susp -w)
