Creating a performance baseline with Perfstat Converged

The Performance and Statistics Collector (Perfstat Converged) is a storage system diagnostics data collection tool, available on the NetApp Support Site, that enables you to establish a performance baseline for comparison after the upgrade. You should create a Perfstat report before upgrading.

About this task

You should create a Perfstat report during a typical usage time; this takes about 30 minutes.

Steps

  1. Download Perfstat Converged from the NetApp Support Site at support.netapp.com/NOW/download/tools/perfstat.
  2. Enter the following command during a typical usage period: perfstat8 -n system_name -t 4 -i 5 -z

After you finish

You should retain the output file for several weeks after the Data ONTAP upgrade is complete.
