It is a common request from customer that wants to know who are the most active clients to a system. Though not hard to obtain, there is no obvious menu that lets you do that, so there it is :

First of all, you need to be in advanced mode and start statistics collection for the “client” object :

netapptest2::*> set advanced
Warning: These advanced commands are potentially dangerous; use them only when directed to do so by NetApp personnel.
Do you want to continue? {y|n}: y

netapptest2::*> statistics start -object client

Then you let it run for some time, and you can start looking at who the most active clients are :
 netapptest2::*> statistics show -object client -instance !Cluster* -sort-key nfs3_ops -counter nfs3_ops -tab
