All:

I'm investigating a performance problem with snapmirror and disrupting production services on my FAS980C. I've seen it impact both NFS and CIFS. The filer becomes unresponsive for 30s to 1 minute when a snapmirror process kicks off. The snapmirror process is actually on the destination end of the process so it is pulling the data from another FAS980. I'm running 7.0.0.1 on a raid 4 traditional volume with 50 spindles in the volume. My cpu's and memory are far from exceeding max capacity. Anybody have a clue as to what could be causing this?

Thanks
