Page 64: Setting Qos By Bandwidth
VM requires 1Gb of bandwidth to transmit its data over the fabric, QLogic recommends a 1.05Gb bandwidth for the virtual port. Alternatively, you can set the virtual port QoS values as a percentage of the total available bandwidth. - Page 65 3–Fibre Channel Configuration Configuring Virtual Ports (NPIV) When the physical port is partitioned into four virtual ports, the port bandwidth is divided between the virtual ports according to traffic demands. QConvergeConsole lets you configure QoS for each virtual port by setting minimum and maximum percentages of the physical port’s bandwidth for each virtual port.

For information about CS_CTL QoS that is not end-to-end, see “Configuring CS_CTL QoS” on page QLogic’s class specific control (CS_CTL) QoS implementation is an end-to-end solution, encompassing the initiator (2700 Series Adapters), the switches, and the target (storage). The 2700 Series Adapter stamps the priority value (high, medium, low) in the CS_CTL field of the Fibre Channel frame. -
Page 100: Configuring Cs_Ctl Qos On The Switch
3–Fibre Channel Configuration Configuring End-to-End CS_CTL QoS Therefore, when all three entities support QoS (and it is enabled on the switch and the target), a default priority value is populated in all FCP_CMND, FCP_DATA, FCP_XFER_RDY, FCP_RSP, and FCP_CONFIRM frames. NOTE QoS must be supported by both the switch and target devices. -
