We have two systems and their flexscale output is given below. System with the low hit percentage is a very busy system with Network shares, Exchange 2010 and VMware on it. I am seeing very low hit percentage for flexcache and want to know if this should be a concern.
System with high usage but very low hit percentage

Do you have any different options flexscale settings?
Specifically looking to see if maybe one has flexscale.lopri_blocks on.
I would have though specifically, Network Sahres, Exchange and vmware would have good cache hit ratios. Or maybe you have 1 or a small handful of guests doing the majority of your i/o.

flexscale.lopri_blocks is off on both filers.
