Instructions
If using CloudPools combined with SyncIQ (SIQ), the first initial SyncIQ job can appear to process more slowly than expected while transmitting stubbed files. An additional operational overhead in terms of CPU, throughput, IOPS, and other factors are incurred on the cluster when working with these files. Essentially, they are reinstating these files from a reduced state to their full and complete state. Use the CLI commands below to track the current state of SIQ jobs and confirm that they are running successfully.# isi sync jobs list
This command provides an overview of the state of SIQ running job operations.
ISI-CLUSTER01-1# isi sync jobs list Policy Name ID State Action Duration ------------------------------------------------------------- CLUSTER01-to-CLUSTER02 13557 running run 13m CLUSTER01-to-CLUSTER03 13136 running run 3m2s CLUSTER01-to-CLUSTER04 5351 running run 3m2s ------------------------------------------------------------- Total: 3
# isi sync jobs list --verbose --format=table
This command gives a more verbose output, including throughput numbers (assuming it is already on a transmission phase):
