Setting the maximum IOPS threshold on application volume groups

The maximum IOPS threshold is set on the application volume group associated with an application. This is a group threshold that applies to all volumes in the group. You can update the IOPS setting at any time, even when an application is running.

You can use the vxvolgrp command to set a maximum IOPS value for the group.

See the vxvolgrp(1M) manual page.

Note:

You can not set a threshold for individual volumes in the group.

To set the maximum IOPS threshold on application volume groups

  1. Set a maximum IOPS value for the application volume group.

    For example, the following command sets a maximum IOPS threshold of 1000 on the application volume group datavol_grp:

    # vxvolgrp -g oradg set datavol_grp maxiops=1000
  2. Verify that the maximum IOPS threshold is set successfully.

    For example:

    # vxvolgrp -g oradg list datavol_grp
Volume Group:                   datavol_grp
volume(s):                      datavol1 datavol2 datavol3
volume group attributes:        maxiops=1000
