IP partnership performance recommendations

A number of factors affect the performance of an IP partnership. Some of these factors are latency, link speed, number of intersite links, host I/O, MDisk latency, and hardware.

The following recommendations might help improve this performance. See IP partnership requirements for additional considerations.

Use a different port for iSCSI host I/O and IP partnership traffic. Also, use a different VLAN ID for iSCSI host I/O and IP partnership traffic.

If you are using a system with IP replication or Global Mirror, consider the following hardware upgrades to help increase IP partnership performance:
  • A cache hardware upgrade (if applicable).
  • A turbo license.
