A customer configured performance monitoring and alerting for their VNX storage array. Periodically they are getting alerts on write latency greater than 15 ms. The VNX is configured with a pool of SAS drives and thin LUNs supporting a database application. NAR data, for a given period which includes one of the alerts, is examined. Flash drives are installed in the VNX; however, they are not currently used. Examining the configuration and data shows the following:

-- Host Type = Linux -- Multi-pathing = Native -- Failover Mode = 1 -- Data LUNs = SP A -- Log LUNs = SP B -- LUN Queue Length = 1.9 -- ABQL = 7.5 How can the performance issue be resolved?
