Adding an Object

Procedure

1. Choose Resources > Tuning > SmartQoS.
2. Click More on the right of the desired QoS policy and select Add Object.

   The Add Object page is displayed.

3. Specify objects for the QoS policy.
   • QoS policy of the exclusive type:
     • Volume
       1. Select the storage pool to which desired volumes belong.
       2. In the Available Volumes area, select one or more volumes. They will be automatically added to the Selected Volumes area on the right.
     • Snapshot
       1. Select the storage pool to which desired snapshots belong.
       2. In the Available Snapshots area, select one or more snapshots. They will be automatically added to the Selected Snapshots area on the right.
     • Storage pool

       In the Available Storage Pools area, select one or more storage pools. They will be automatically added to the Selected Storage Pools area on the right.

       

       • If different QoS policies are configured for a volume and its owning storage pool, the QoS policy configured for the volume takes effect.
       • If the object of a QoS policy is a storage pool, the system configures the SmartQoS policy for each volume or snapshot in the storage pool. For example, if Max. IOPS of the selected SmartQoS policy is set to 1000 and you add object storage pool StoragePool001, Max. IOPS of each volume or snapshot in the storage pool is 1000.
   • QoS policy of the shared type:
     • Storage pool

       In the Available Storage Pools area, select one or more storage pools. They will be automatically added to the Selected Storage Pools area on the right.

       

       For example, if Max. IOPS of the selected SmartQoS policy is set to 10,000 and you add object storage pool StoragePool001, Max. IOPS (total performance) of the storage pool does not exceed 10,000.
