PDFs

POST /storage/qos/policies

Creates a QoS policy.

Required properties

  • svm.uuid or svm.name - The existing SVM owning the QoS policy.

  • name - The name of the QoS policy.

  • fixed.* or adaptive.* - Either of the fixed or adaptive parameters.

Default property values

  • If fixed.* parameters are specified, then capacity.shared is set to false by default.

  • qos policy-group create

  • qos adaptive-policy-group create

Parameters

Name Type In Required Description

return_timeout

integer

query

False

The number of seconds to allow the call to execute before returning. When doing a POST, PATCH, or DELETE operation on a single record, the default is 0 seconds. This means that if an asynchronous operation is started, the server immediately returns HTTP code 202 (Accepted) along with a link to the job. If a non-zero value is specified for POST, PATCH, or DELETE operations, ONTAP waits that length of time to see if the job completes so it can return something other than 202.

Request Body

Name Type Description

_links

adaptive

adaptive

Adaptive QoS policy-groups define measurable service level objectives (SLOs) that adjust based on the storage object used space and the storage object allocated space.

fixed

name

string

Name of the QoS policy.

Number of objects attached to this policy.

ONTAP Error Response Codes

Error Code Description

8454277

The name specified for creating an adaptive QoS policy conflicts with an existing fixed QoS policy name.

8454278

The name specified for creating a fixed QoS policy conflicts with an existing adaptive QoS policy name.

8454154

The name specified for creating conflicts with an existing QoS policy name.

8454147

adaptive

Adaptive QoS policy-groups define measurable service level objectives (SLOs) that adjust based on the storage object used space and the storage object allocated space.

Name Type Description

absolute_min_iops

integer

Specifies the absolute minimum IOPS that is used as an override when the expected_iops is less than this value. These floors are not guaranteed on non-AFF platforms or when FabricPool tiering policies are set.

expected_iops

integer

Expected IOPS. Specifies the minimum expected IOPS per TB allocated based on the storage object allocated size. These floors are not guaranteed on non-AFF platforms or when FabricPool tiering policies are set.

peak_iops

integer

Peak IOPS. Specifies the maximum possible IOPS per TB allocated based on the storage object allocated size or the storage object used size.

fixed

QoS policy-groups define a fixed service level objective (SLO) for a storage object.

Name Type Description

capacity_shared

boolean

Specifies whether the capacities are shared across all objects that use this QoS policy-group. Default is false.

max_throughput_iops

integer

Maximum throughput defined by this policy. It is specified in terms of IOPS. 0 means no maximum throughput is enforced.

max_throughput_mbps

integer

Maximum throughput defined by this policy. It is specified in terms of Mbps. 0 means no maximum throughput is enforced.

min_throughput_iops

integer

Minimum throughput defined by this policy. It is specified in terms of IOPS. 0 means no minimum throughput is enforced. These floors are not guaranteed on non-AFF platforms or when FabricPool tiering policies are set.

svm

SVM, applies only to SVM-scoped objects.
