Delete a QoS Volume Prole
Delete a QoS prole for a volume.
Prerequisite
Only QoS proles that are not currently in use by any volume can be deleted. The Default QoS Volume prole cannot be deleted even if
there are no volumes assigned to it. Group QoS Proles can be removed or reassigned; however, Volume QoS proles can be reassigned
only.
Steps
1 If the Storage Manager Client is connected to a Data Collector, select a Storage Center from the Storage view.
2 In the Storage tab navigation tab, expand QoS Proles and select the prole to be deleted.
3 Right-click the prole and select Delete.
A conrmation dialog box opens to request approval for the deletion.
4 Click OK.
Apply a QoS Prole to a Volume
Apply a previously dened QoS prole to a volume.
Prerequisite
The QoS prole must already exist.
Steps
1 If the Storage Manager Client is connected to a Data Collector, select a Storage Center from the Storage view.
2 Expand the QoS Proles navigation tree. Right-click the name of the QoS prole.
3 Select Apply to Volumes.
The Apply to Volumes dialog box opens.
4 Select the checkbox next to each volume to which you want to apply the QoS prole.
5 Click OK.
Remove a Group QoS Prole From a Volume
Remove a Group QoS prole previously associated with one or more volumes.
1 If the Storage Manager Client is connected to a Data Collector, select a Storage Center from the Storage view.
2 Expand the QoS Prole navigation tree and then expand the Group QoS Proles navigation tree.
3 Right-click the Group QoS prole to be removed and select Remove Group Prole from Volume.
A dialog box opens to show the volumes associated with the QoS prole.
4 Select the checkbox next to each volume from which you want to remove the QoS prole.
5 Click OK.
Importing Volumes from an External Storage Array
Storage Center can import volumes from an EqualLogic PS Series Storage Array or an MD Series Storage Array. There are two methods for
importing data from an external device, oine and online.
• Oine import migrates a Volume from the source to the destination. The volume must then be mapped to the server after the import.
• Online import creates a destination volume, maps it to the server, then migrates the data to the destination volume. I/O from the server
continues to both the destination and source volumes during the import process. Importing using the Online method can take longer
than oine due to I/O continuing to the volume from the server.
