I/Os are not failing over immediately on path failure in MPIO setup
When multipath I/O (MPIO) is enabled and input/output operations are not failing over immediately
when a path failure occurs, refer to the following descriptions of possible causes and
recommended actions to help resolve the problem.
Possible Cause: Improper driver mpiomode setting.
Action: Execute the port --query <port_id> BCU command and ensure fcpim MPIO mode is enabled
(which implies zero Path TOV values) or that fcpim MPIO mode is disabled with the expected “Path
TOV” settings (default is 30 seconds).
Disk I/O requests cause low throughput and high latency on Linux
If a high number of I/O requests is causing low throughput and high latency on Linux systems, refer
to the following descriptions of possible causes and recommended actions to help resolve the
problem.
Possible Cause: The maximum input/output operations per second are too low on Linux hosts.
on page 93 for suggestions to optimize adapter performance in
Linux systems.
Disk I/O requests cause low throughput and high latency on VMware
If a high number of I/O requests is causing low throughput and high latency on VMware systems,
refer to the following descriptions of possible causes and recommended actions to help resolve the
problem.
Possible Cause: The maximum input/output operations per second are too low on VMware hosts.
