Hi,
I created a demo that shows how do we integrate with VMware SIOC in order to QoS a specific “bad vm” .
the demo is pretty much self explanatory but in case you want to understand the flow:
1. I run a storage intensive script of 4 linux servers
2. they are consuming a lot of IOPS from one X-Brick
3. I decided to give the “badvm” 30 IOPS per each one of it’s drive
4. you can see that now the X-brick provides less IOPS
VMworld is coming up soon, below you can see our sessions schedule for the conference. Chhandomay will talk about mixed workloads consolidation on Monday at 2PM. Marco will talk about our recently released Metadata-Aware replication on Tuesday at 1PM Yours truly will give a (condensed) session on some best practices on Sunday at 4PM In…
Back in December 2018, we had a customer advisory council where we shared our thoughts on our containers strategy. At VMworld 2019, Efri from the Dell Data Protection team shared the Containers Protection plans by talking and demonstrating a tech preview of using Dell EMC PowerProtect to protect containers, note that it doesn’t mean we…

Today is a special day, we have finally released RP4VMS 5.1 SP1, to call it a service pack will be unfair, I think it’s the biggest release or at least, the biggest architecture change we have made to RP4VMs since its “1.0” version (or should I say, it’s 4.X version) So what’s new? First, RP4VMs…

I just want to point out that VM Limits are not implemented by SIOC. SIOC is a share based mechanism which ensures virtual machine IO fairness cluster-wide for a datastore.
The limit you are using is a function of the local disk scheduler
I stay corrected, thanks Duncan!
