Hello,   That's difficult to judge, that command must run inquiries against the configuration database via SNMP.  In multiple member groups that also involves the other member(s).    That member firmware is also behind current revision.  9.1.1 is the most current version.   That also appears to be an older controller with less memory and CPU resource available.  I ran this command on a current HW controller and it was very fast, 2 sec.  On an older array it took quite a bit longer on occasions.  That array has very little load on it.  (older firmware as well)   Just for a test, instead of "pool select default show" just do "show"   Lastly these requests do run at a lower priority vs. iSCSI traffic.   Regards,  Don 
We are using the OpenStack Mitaka Cinder driver for EqualLogic to provide our test system with a variety of storage volumes. The driver (according to logs) repeatedly issues calls to "pool select default show" that take (at best) around 20s each to complete - considerably longer on a busy system.  Because of these delays, there is contention on the restricted number of SSH CLI sessions to the EQL. My question here is whether that is a reasonable length of time for this command or whether there is an underlying performance issue with our system.   I have attached the full output of the command from a console session below which contains system config details, status and volume.  The dynamic volumes being deleted/created are in the range of 20GB - 200GB.  The large 1+TB volumes are long-living. Any thoughts on this would be really appreciated.  Thanks. metaswitch-eql> pool select default show______________________________ Pool Information _______________________________Name: defaultDescription:Default: trueData-Reduction:

Running "pool select default show" takes about 20s with around 70 volumes - is 
this "normal"?
