Question

A customer has deployed a new application on a host using VNX storage. The new application I/O size is 512 KiB, has a 50/50 read-write ratio, and its write behavior is sequential and bursty. All other host applications are characterized by 4 KiB I/O random writes. The customer has noticed degraded overall VNX performance during write bursts, which is caused by the new application. Your analysis reveals a high rate of forced flushing, as well as significant CMI congestion. What can you recommend to improve overall VNX performance?
