Configuring the Storage Quality of Service

Introduced in Windows 2012 R2 Hyper-V, storage quality of service (QoS) provides the Hyper-V administrator with the ability to specify a minimum and maximums value for I/O load associated with the virtual disk of a virtual machine.

Getting ready

Storage QoS allows you to set up reserves and limits associated with the I/O load of a virtual hard disk that is located on shared storage to ensure isolation, as well as plan and allocate resources for a given application or workload.

How to do it…

The following steps show how to configure Storage QoS for a given virtual hard disk:

  1. To configure Storage QoS on a virtual hard disk, open Hyper-V Manager, select the virtual machine on which you want to configure this feature and click Settings in the pane on the right-hand side (or with a right-click on the VM).
  2. By default, you can see one SCSI controller on the virtual machine settings. To enable Storage QoS, select the SCSI Controller, then select the Hard...
