Running "pool select default show" takes about 20s with around 70 volumes - is this "normal"?
We are using the OpenStack Mitaka Cinder driver for EqualLogic to provide our test system with a variety of storage volumes.
The driver (according to logs) repeatedly issues calls to "pool select default show" that take (at best) around 20s each to complete - considerably longer on a busy system. Because of these delays, there is contention on the restricted number of SSH CLI sessions to the EQL.
My question here is whether that is a reasonable length of time for this command or whether there is an underlying performance issue with our system.
I have attached the full output of the command from a console session below which contains system config details, status and volume. The dynamic volumes being deleted/created are in the range of 20GB - 200GB. The large 1+TB volumes are long-living.
Any thoughts on this would be really appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks again. This is indeed an older system that we are putting under more load now - I'll look at getting a firmware update.
I have been looking at the offending driver and it appears that it just requires information about the size and resource usage of the pool so "pool show" should be sufficient for that purpose.

It has made a big difference for us, thanks. The only restriction is that the driver cannot get the correct VolumeReserve figure so we are probably playing a little fast and loose with the limited information given by pool show. That's fine for our ancient test system...
