Fujitsu ETERNUS AF250 S2 - Figure 64 Qos; Figure 65 Copy Path Bandwidth Limit

Linking with ETERNUS SF Storage Cruiser significantly reduces the operation workload on the system administra-
tor when applying the QoS function because performance designing and tuning are automatically performed.

Workload upper limit for B
Because the w
orkload for A, which has a low
priority, significantly increases, the required
performance for B cannot be maintained
Because the workload for A is lower than
the upper limit, the workload for B, which has
a high priority, can be reduced

● REC Bandwidth Limit (Remote Copy QoS)
A bandwidth upper limit can be set for each copy path in the remote copy session.
Even if a specific path fails, the line bandwidth can be maintained without centralizing the load to other paths.
The bandwidth limit can be specified in increments of Mbit/s.
