Goal
On SuperCluster Solaris Zones and IO Domains are installed on iSCSI LUNs exported by the internal ZFS Storage Appliance (ZFSSA). On SuperCluster M7, Dedicated and Root Domains are also installed on such LUNs.
A SuperCluster configured with many IO Domains and Solaris Zones - especially an M7 SuperCluster - can become sensitive to iSCSI performance: an additional load on the ZFSSA - such as some NFS traffic generated by backup activities - can have a negatively impact on the iSCSI latency and on the overall performance.
In such a case Solaris Crossbow flows can be put in place to control the NFS load on the ZFSSA.
