By default, OneFS shows up to 256 active clients when using isi statistics command or in InsightIQ. In EDA environments, due to large compute grid, often more than 256 clients connect to each node. To accurately reflect this number, change the following parameter.
By default, only 256 active clients are shown.
Change the configuration to check for current setting and if necessary, change it allow 1024 active clients (maximum) to be reported by OneFS for NFS or SMB protocols.
sysctl isi.stats.client.<protocol>.max_clients
sysctl isi.stats.client.<protocol>.max_clients=1024
Where protocol is nfs, nfs4, smb2, S3, cifs
