When you review performance data for a NetApp ONTAP cluster node, there are back-to-back (B2B)...

A B2B type consistency point (CP) occurs when a new CP is triggered before the previous CP is completed, due to the second memory buffer reaching a watermark. This can cause write latency to increase as user write operations are not replied until a write buffer frees up. However, this only affects the aggregate that is undergoing the B2B processing, and not the other aggregates on the same node. Therefore, the performance of the client operations on the data aggregates will not be affected by B2B processing on the root aggregate. References = What is the Back-to-Back (B2B) Consistency Point Scenario?, What are the different Consistency Point types and how are they measured in ONTAP 9?, What are the different Consistency Point types and how are they measured?
