You can create a Storage Profile that defines a collection of Quality of Service (QoS) properties that differ in some way to the Storage Profiles that have been predefined in the system.

3- Choose whether you want the standard list of QoS properties or an extended list.

● To define the standard QoS properties, select the Manage Standard Storage Profiles option.
● To define the standard QoS properties and the striping properties, select the Manage Advanced Storage Profiles option.

4- Set the QoS properties as needed from drop down list for each parameters listed below:

Priority Level
Redundancy
Typical Access
IO bias
Strip size
Number of Raid Groups
Read Ahead
Writes
Disk protection

Preferred Storage Classes

5- To save the new Standard Profile, click OK.

After saving a profile, you cannot make changes to it. You can only delete the profile.

Once the profile is created, you can modify the LUN using this profile.
