Hello, friend!
Have a nice day!
1. In COW snapshots without performance optimization, the protected data must be backed up before host data can be delivered. It takes a certain amount of time for backup data to be read and written to disks, resulting in a sharp decrease.
If a data area on a LUN that has been copied before write is written again, the data area on the source LUN is directly overwritten. This has no impact on host performance. The curve recovery is closely related to the host I/O model. During random I/Os, the performance is gradually restored as the number of I/Os that need to be performed for COW decreases.
Huawei COW is optimized for performance and implemented under the cache. Host I/Os are returned after being written to the cache. Therefore, the LUN performance does not deteriorate sharply after Huawei snapshots are used.
2. After copy on write is performed for all data blocks in a data LUN, the write performance is restored to the previous one because copy-on-write is not required.
Hope this helps!
