Setting the Default Task Priority

Page 84 highlights

Either step displays the Modify iSCSI Port dialog box, with the current iSCSI port number shown (see Figure 5-34). Figure 5-34 Modify iSCSI Port Dialog Box 2. Enter a new value for the iSCSI port. 3. Click OK. The new iSCSI port number will take effect after the next controller restart. 5.4.8 Setting the Default Task Priority You can set the default task priority to specify whether background tasks receive a high or low priority. By default, the default task priority provides for minimum impact on the foreground applications performed by the xStack Storage Array. However, you can change this setting if desired. For example, you may want to specify a higher default task priority for time-critical tasks such as backups. By changing the default task priority to a high priority, the xStack Storage Array will spend more resources performing tasks and fewer resources performing I/O for its initiators, potentially decreasing its performance (as observed from the initiators). If you want to change the priority of a single critical task, you can change the priority of that task without changing all tasks. To set the default task priority, use the following procedure. 1. On the File menu, click Set Default Task Priority. The Set Default Task Priority dialog box appears, with the current setting shown (see Figure 5-35). 84 Chapter 5 Configuring the xStack Storage Array

Setting the Default Task Priority
You can set the default task priority to specify whether background tasks receive a high or low
priority. By default, the default task priority provides for minimum impact on the foreground
applications performed by the xStack Storage Array. However, you can change this setting if
desired. For example, you may want to specify a higher default task priority for time-critical
tasks such as backups.
By changing the default task priority to a high priority, the xStack Storage
Array will spend more resources performing tasks and fewer resources
performing I/O for its initiators, potentially decreasing its performance (as
observed from the initiators). If you want to change the priority of a single
critical task, you can change the priority of that task without changing all
tasks.
To set the default task priority, use the following procedure.
1.
On the
File
menu, click
Set Default Task Priority
. The Set Default Task Priority dialog box
appears, with the current setting shown (see Figure 5-35).
