Managing QoS Proles
QoS proles describe QoS settings that can be applied to volumes.
By dening QoS proles to apply to volumes, you potentially limit I/Os that the volumes can perform, and also dene their relative priority
during times of congestion.
You can also dene a group QoS prole that can be applied to multiple volumes to limit the I/Os that the volumes can do in aggregate.
Create a QoS Prole
QoS proles include a set of attributes that control the QoS behavior for any volume to which it is applied.
Prerequisites
• To enable users to set QoS proles for a Storage Center, the Allow QoS Prole Selection option must be selected on the Storage
Center Preferences settings.
• To enable QoS proles to be enforced, the QoS Limits Enabled and Server Load Equalizer Enabled options must be selected on the
Storage Center Storage settings.
