When ONTAP first boots up, each FlexVol volume gets mapped to a CPU thread. Think of it as an “arranged marriage,” of sorts. The reason volumes get mapped to CPUs is to avoid the need to process WAFL messages serially. Parallel operations give ONTAP more flexibility to perform better. ONTAP was originally created for […]

One of the great strengths of ONTAP® has been its ability to scale out across multiple nodes, as well as scale up to higher performance storage controllers (such as the recent NVMe all-flash AFF A800 system). This scale-out capability is especially useful for VMware vSphere. Over half of all ONTAP systems run vSphere workloads, and […]
I am happy to announce an update of our VVol TR-4400, VMware vSphere Virtual Volumes with ONTAP. You may download the updated TR with the same URL used previously: https://www.netapp.com/us/media/tr-4400.pdf. I might be weird in this respect, but I enjoy reading product manuals. But even though the prior VVol technical report was well written, […]
