QoS Scheduler Policies
Quality of Service Guide 565
If overwrite is not specified, an error will occur if the destination policy exists.
Parameters scheduler-policy src-name dst-name  — Indicates that the source policy and the destination 
policy are scheduler policy. Specify the source policy that the copy command will attempt to 
copy from and specify the destination policy to which the command will copy a duplicate of 
the policy. 
port-scheduler-policy src-name dst-name — Indicates that the source policy and the destination 
policy are port scheduler policy IDs. Specify the source policy that the copy command will 
attempt to copy from and specify the destination policy name to which the command will 
copy a duplicate of the policy. 
overwrite — Forces the destination policy name to be copied as specified. When forced, 
everything in the existing destination policy will be completely overwritten with the contents 
of the source policy. 
Scheduler Policy Commands
scheduler-policy 
Syntax [no] scheduler-policy scheduler-policy-name 
Context config>qos
Description Each scheduler policy is divided up into groups of schedulers based on the tier each scheduler is 
created under. A tier is used to give structure to the schedulers within a policy and define rules for 
parent scheduler associations.
The scheduler-policy command creates a scheduler policy or allows you to edit an existing policy.The 
policy defines the hierarchy and operating parameters for virtual schedulers. Merely creating a policy 
does not create the schedulers; it only provides a template for the schedulers to be created when the 
policy is associated with a SAP or multi-service site. 
Each scheduler policy must have a unique name within the context of the system. Modifications made 
to an existing policy are executed on all schedulers that use the policy. This can cause queues or 
schedulers to become orphaned (invalid parent association) and adversely affect the ability of the 
system to enforce service level agreements (SLAs).
If a scheduler-policy-name does not exist, it is assumed that an attempt is being made to create a new 
policy. The success of the command execution is dependent on the following:
1. The maximum number of scheduler policies has not been configured.
2. The provided scheduler-policy-name is valid.
3. The create keyword is entered with the command if the system is configured to require it 
(enabled in the environment create command).
