More Information
Summary:Techniques are provided for managing quality of service (QoS) policies in a virtual storage environment. A data storage system receives a request from a host system to connect to a target virtual volume in a storage array of the data storage system, and determines a protocol endpoint which has an assigned QoS policy which corresponds to a QoS policy of the target virtual volume. The data storage system binds the target virtual volume to the protocol endpoint which is determined to have an assigned QoS policy which corresponds to the QoS policy of the target virtual volume, and sends a unique identifier of the protocol endpoint, which is bound to the target virtual volume, to the host system. The data storage system utilizes the protocol endpoint, which is bound to the target virtual volume, to handle data access requests received from the host system for accessing the target virtual volume.
