Besides assigning VLANs to server profiles, SmartFabric Services automate QoS settings based on user input. When a VLAN is created and you select the related traffic type (such as iSCSI and vMotion), the SFS engine assigns the correct QoS setting to that VLAN. You can also select a “metal” such as gold and bronze to assign your own priority values to the traffic.
