Set volume bandwidth and IOPS limits

Setting bandwidth and IOPS limits for volumes lets you control the quality of service (QoS). Bandwidth and IOPS limits are set on a per-host basis.

Prerequisites

Ensure that the volumes are mapped before you set these limits.

Steps

  1. On the menu bar, click Block > Volumes.
  2. In the list of volumes, select the relevant volume, and then click More Actions > Set Limits.
  3. In the Set IO limits for volume dialog box, enter the required values for Bandwidth Limits and IOPS Limits, or select the corresponding Unlimited check box.
    • The number of IOPS must be larger than 10.
    • The volume network bandwidth is in MB/s.
    • The I/O limits are applied to every mapped SDC.
  4. Click Apply.
  5. Verify that the operation has finished successfully, and click Dismiss.
