Queue depth

The queue depth is the number of I/O operations that can be run in parallel on a device. It is usually possible to set a limit on the queue depth on the subsystem device driver (SDD) paths (or equivalent) or the host bus adapter (HBA).

Ensure that you configure the servers to limit the queue depth on all of the paths to the SAN Volume Controller disks in configurations that contain a large number of servers or virtual disks (VDisks).
Note: You might have a number of servers in the configuration that are idle or do not initiate the calculated quantity of I/O operations. If so, you might not need to limit the queue depth.
