StorNext 3.1.3 Installation Guide 135 Appendix D D Quality of Service Guide This appendix describes how to configure and use the Stor Next File System (SNFS) Quality of Service ( QOS) feature. QOS allow s real-time applications to reserve some amount of bandwidth on the storage system.
Appendix D Quality of Service Guide Overview StorNext 3.1.3 Installation Guide 136 Overview QOS is stripe-group centric; all c onfiguration and operations act on a specific stripe group. This al lows stripe groups with differing access characteristics to use different rea l-tim e settings.
Appendix D Quality of Service Guide Configuration StorNext 3.1.3 Installation Guide 137 Configuration The primary configuration for QOS is in the FSM configuration file. No client configuration is required, although there is a QO S tuning parameter that can be specified when the file system is mounted.

Appendix D Quality of Service Guide Configuration StorNext 3.1.3 Installation Guide 140 Reserve 4 To prevent deadlock, the QOS implementation never allows zero I/O / sec for non-real-time I/O. Otherwise, a system could block with many critical file sy stem resources held waiting f or I/O to become available.
Appendix D Quality of Service Guide Configuration StorNext 3.1.3 Installation Guide 141 T oken Timeout s 4 The RtT okenT imeout parameter controls the amount of time the FSM waits for clients to respond to callbacks . In most normal SANs , the default two- second setting is sufficient.
Appendix D Quality of Service Guide Real-tim e I/O StorNext 3.1.3 Installation Guide 142 Real-time I/O A process requests real-t ime (ungated) I/O by using the SNFS External API SetRtio call ( F_SETRIO ioctl ). A library function is included in the External API sample source cod e that provides all the required cross- platform handling.
Appendix D Quality of Service Guide Real-tim e I/O StorNext 3.1.3 Installation Guide 143 SetRtio 4 Initially, all stripe groups in the fi le system are in non-real-time mode. Clients make their reques ts directly to the I/O subsystem without any gating.
Appendix D Quality of Service Guide Real-tim e I/O StorNext 3.1.3 Installation Guide 144 This automatic clearing of real-time I/O is carried out in the context of the process that is closing the file. If the FSM c annot be reached for some reason, the request is enqueued on a daemon and the process closing the file is allowed to continue.
Appendix D Quality of Service Guide Callbacks StorNext 3.1.3 Installation Guide 145 Calculatin g A vai lable RTIO 4 When the FSM receives a request for rtio, it takes the amount reserved into consideration. The reserve amount functions as a soft limit beyond which the FSM will not trai pse.
