Network Interface performance fields
The following fields are available in the Performance: All Network Interfaces view and can be used in custom views and in reports.
-
Status
A healthy object with no active events displays a green check mark icon (). If the object has an active event, the event indicator icon identifies the event severity: critical events are red (), error events are orange (), and warning events are yellow ().
-
Network Interface
You can click the network interface (LIF) name to navigate to the performance details page of that LIF.
-
Type
The interface type: Network (iSCSI, NFS, CIFS), FCP, or NVMf FC.
-
Latency
The average response time for all I/O requests, expressed in milliseconds per operation. Latency is not applicable to NFS LIFs and CIFS LIFs, and is displayed as N/A for these types.
-
IOPS
The input/output operations per second. IOPS is not applicable to NFS LIFs and CIFS LIFs, and is displayed as N/A for these types.
-
MB/s
The throughput on the interface, measured in megabytes per second.
-
Cluster
The cluster to which the interface belongs. You can click the cluster's name to navigate to that cluster's details page.
-
Cluster FQDN
The fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the cluster.
-
SVM
The storage virtual machine to which the interface belongs. You can click the SVM name to navigate to that SVM's details page.
-
Home Location
The home location for the interface, displayed as node name and port name, separated by a colon (:). If the location is displayed with an ellipsis (…), you can position your cursor over the location name to view the full location.
-
Current Location
The current location for the interface, displayed as node name and port name, separated by a colon (:). If the location is displayed with an ellipsis (…), you can position your cursor over the location name to view the full location.
-
Role
The interface role: Data, Cluster, Node Management, or Intercluster.
-
Threshold Policy
The user-defined performance threshold policy, or policies, that are active on this storage object. You can position your cursor over policy names containing an ellipsis (…) to view the full policy name or the list of assigned policy names. The Assign Performance Threshold Policy and Clear Performance Threshold Policy buttons remain disabled until you select one or more objects by clicking the check boxes located at the far left.
