Display « big talkers » clients on cDOT

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

ntap2_vs1: client: 5/31/2016 23:59:26

instance nfs3
 name ops

You can use another field instead of nfs3_ops, just use « ? » character to get a list of available fields when you get to that part of the command line.

Here are the options available at this time, you can also use multiple fields by using a comma « , » separator.

  cifs_ops                    
  cifs_read_ops               
  cifs_read_size              
  cifs_write_ops

    It happens, but usually on the first collection from my experience.

    Were you able to re run it?
