FTVs that satisfy the following conditions are target volumes for Automated QoS. Since a Virtual Volume is also a type of FTV, it is a target volume for Automated QoS. The status of whether or not each condition is satisfied, can be confirmed from the Web Console. Refer to the following sections in the ETERNUS SF Web Console Guide for information on the confirmation method.
Conditions | Reference Section of the Confirmation Method |
|---|---|
The performance management function is in a started state | "Display Performance Monitoring Status" listed under "Operations for Performance Management of Storage Device" |
The FTV is a volume subject to the performance management function | |
ETERNUS SF Storage Cruiser Quality of Service Management optional license has been registered | "Display License" |
The FTV is a volume that is displayed in Relationship Management (servers, Disk storage systems, and host affinity information that are configured between server connections have been registered) | "Display/Export End to End View" |
The FTV is a volume that belongs to a storage device with which the Automated QoS is "Active" | The Main pane that is displayed by clicking the storage name from the storage list that is displayed after clicking Storage in the global navigation tab |
This is a volume that is enabled (Enable) with the Automated QoS function | "Display FTV" |
Examples of volumes to become Automated QoS targets are shown in "Figure 5.4 Automated QoS Target Volume Conditions".
In this example, among the volumes that are targets for performance management, only the two volumes (volume numbers 102 and 105) that are enabled (Enable) with Automated QoS become targets of a bandwidth adjustment by using the Automated QoS function.
Figure 5.4 Automated QoS Target Volume Conditions
Information
If the performance management function of the switch that connects the target volume with the server has not started, among the target volumes, the Automated QoS function automatically tunes only the volumes that share CMs and Tier pools. The volumes that share the CA/CM port and switch port are not automatically tuned.
Refer to "Display FC Switch List" in the ETERNUS SF Web Console Guide for information on how to confirm the status of the performance management function for switches.
