Pool.
2. Right-click the Storage Pool and select Settings > Set I/O Priority.
3. Select Favor Application I/O for Rebalance, Rebuild and Migration, and click
OK.
You can prioritize different types of I/O in the system, as well as configure network
throttling per Protection Domain.
About this task
Priority can be given to different types of I/Os in the system. The number of
concurrent Rebuild and Rebalance jobs can be configured, and bandwidth for
Rebalance jobs can be configured. You can also control I/O priority for Migration.
Refer to "V-Tree migration" for more information. If the Dynamic Bandwidth
Throttling option is selected, additional items can be configured, such as
Application IOPS threshold, Application bandwidth threshold, and
Application threshold quiet period. Default values for these features are
provided in the VxFlex OS CLI Reference Guide .

Configure network throttling to control the flow of traffic over the network.
About this task
Network throttling is configured per Protection Domain. The SDS nodes transfer data
between themselves. This data consists of user-data being replicated as part of the
RAID protection, and data copied for internal rebalancing and recovery from failures.
You can modify the balance between these types of data loads by limiting the data
copy bandwidth. This change affects all SDSs in the specified Protection Domain.
