I/O prioritization with load balancing
If you want to balance MP blade utilization across all MP blades and also need I/O prioritization,
do the following:
1. Select the array.
2. Ensure that all the MP blades are in the QoS MPBs compartment.
3. Click Submit.
4. Select the QoS MPBs Load balancer check box.
5. Create a profile and define target Service Level Objectives (SLOs) for the workloads identified
6. Assign the profile to an array.
7. Add workloads.
8. Enable the controller.
9. View and monitor workload performance.
10. Modify the defined SLOs to achieve the desired bandwidth or latency, if required.
I/O prioritization with load balancing on selected MP blade sets
If you want to load balance all the MP blades, but you want I/O prioritization only on a few selected
MP blades, do the following:
1. Select the array.
2. Select MP blades for which you want I/O prioritization and move it to the QoS MPBs compartment.
3. Click Submit.
4. Select the Non Qos MPBs Load balancer check box.
5. Select the Qos MPBs Load balancer check box.
6. Create a profile and define target Service Level Objectives (SLOs) for the workloads identified
7. Assign the profile to an array.
8. Add workloads.
9. Enable the controller.
10. View and monitor workload performance.
11. Modify the defined SLOs to achieve the desired bandwidth or latency, if required.
I/O prioritization with load balancing on reserved set of MP blades
If you want to balance MP blade utilization, want I/O prioritization only on certain MP blades, and
you do not want to change the pre configured LDEV mapping on the other MP blades, do the following:
1. Select the array.
2. Select MP blades for which you want I/O prioritization and move it to the QoS MPB compartment.
3. Click Submit.
4. Select the QoS MPB Load balancer check box.
