to troubleshooting cx4 MV/A via iSCSI how understand getspids values

0.1 = tenth

0.01= hundredth

0.001=thousand...etc

This time is taken when the SP Collects script is ran. It takes a snapshot of the CLARiiON Storage system at that point of time and creates a data.zip file which has all the information.

thank you

but what are those numbers,

miliseconds of response time?

so

.00024 means 24 miliseconds?

and how is that measure taken, by pinging or something,

is that a constant measure, or it is just taken when spcollect runs?

mc

thanks for descriptions

last questions. collects files retrieved from 2 storage at the same time reflect following:

from box1 collects  says

box1 primary pA0     .00033

box2 remote  pA0     .00207

from box2 collects says

box2 array  pA0   .00027        

box1 array    pA0   .00186

seems that both storage have less and good time for i/o been and getting collects from its own side.

but why oposite link shows time not very good. in both boxes?

ok thank you

We are talking about tenthousandth fraction here even a millisecond of SP Collect delay matters, I reckon.

Perhaps, on a second thought I reckon there must be another reason which I would need to research. I will update the space if I found anything more.

hello i get this metric when starting spcollect

how can a prove that  this is a link speed issue and not an storage issue

is there any way

numbers are so high

thank you

mc

those numbers are the time it takes for a one-way trip on that link - it's measued by the array - sends out a packet and times the ACK back. The times indicate the quality of the network, not the array. Higher numbers indicate more latency on the netowrk. All things equal, the times should be similar for both paths, if not, then there may be issues in the network.

sorry all answer was fine and clear,

what i send was another question,  trying to deep dive more and solve problem by myseft with more knowlegde

about getspids

thank you Ankit and Glen

LOL! I guess I did not change the receipent that response was not suppose to be here!
