Create a QoS policy
You can create QoS policies and apply them to volumes that should have equivalent performance.

If you are using QoS policies, do not use custom QoS on a volume. Custom QoS will
override and adjust QoS policy values for volume QoS settings.
Steps
1. Log in to NetApp Hybrid Cloud Control by providing the NetApp HCI or Element storage cluster
administrator credentials.
2. From the Dashboard, expand the menu for your storage cluster.
3. Select Storage > Volumes.
4. Click the QoS Policies tab.
5. Click Create Policy.
6. Enter the Policy Name.

Use descriptive naming best practices. This is especially important if multiple clusters or
vCenter Servers are used in your environment.
7. Enter the minimum IOPS, maximum IOPS, and burst IOPS values.
8. Click Create QoS Policy.
A system ID is generated for the policy and the policy appears on the QoS Policies page with its assigned
QoS values.
Apply a QoS policy to a volume
You can assign an existing QoS policy to a volume using NetApp Hybrid Cloud Control.
What you'll need
The QoS policy you want to assign has been created.
About this task
This task describes how to assign a QoS policy to an individual volume by changing its settings. The latest
version of NetApp Hybrid Cloud Control does not have a bulk assign option for more than one volume. Until the
functionality to bulk assign is provided in a future release, you can use the Element web UI or vCenter Plug-in
UI to bulk assign QoS policies.
Steps
1. Log in to NetApp Hybrid Cloud Control by providing the NetApp HCI or Element storage cluster
administrator credentials.
