Named Pools QoS Policy Command Reference
730 Quality of Service Guide
Pools in the policy may be added or removed at anytime. If the policy is currently associated with an
XMA, MDA, or port, the system will first check to ensure necessary resources exist on the port, XMA,
or MDA before allowing the pool creation within the policy to proceed. If the pool cannot be added,
the pool pool-name command will fail. When a new pool is created, the system will scan all pool
orphaned queues for queues associated with the new pool name wherever the policy is currently
applied. (A queue with a defined pool name that does not exist is placed on its appropriate default pool
until the pool comes into existence).
The no form of the command removes a specific named pool policy from the system. If the named pool
policy is currently associated with an ingress or egress XMA, MDA, or port, the command will fail. If
the named pool policy does not exist, the command has no effect and does not return an error.
Parameters named-pool-policy-name — The named-pool-policy-name is required. Each named pool policy
must be uniquely named within the system. Names of up to 32 ASCII characters are supported
with the normal character restrictions. A named pool policy must exist prior to applying the
policy name to an XMA, MDA, or port.
Values Up to 32 character ASCII string
Default None (A system default named pool policy does not exist)
Limit: 1024 policies per system
create — The create keyword is required if creating a new named pool policy when the system is
configured to require the explicit use of the keyword to prevent accidental object creation.
Objects may be accidentally created when this protection is disabled and an object name is
mistyped when attempting to edit the object. This keyword is not required when the
protection is disabled. The keyword is ignored when the named pool policy already exists.

Description The description command is used to define an informational ASCII string for the named pool policy.
The string value may be defined or changed at anytime.
The no form of the command removes an explicit description string from the named pool policy.
Parameters description-string — The description-string parameter defines the ASCII description string for the
named pool policy. If the string contains spaces, it must be placed within beginning and
ending double quotation marks. Beginning and ending quotation marks are not considered
part of the description string. Only printable ASCII characters are allowed in the string. The
sting does not need to be unique within the system. If the command is executed without the
description-sting present, any existing description string will be unaffected.
Values Up to 80 character ASCII string
Default None
