Change IOPS settings in custom SATP claim rule

[TylerDurden77]

Hi Admin,

I have a custom SATP rule in use :

esxcli storage nmp satp rule add -s "VMW_SATP_ALUA" -P "VMW_PSP_RR" -O iops=1 -c "tpgs_on" -V "3PARdata" -M "VV" -e "HP 3PAR Custom Rule"

I would now like to change the iops to 100 but i dont understand how to do that.

I tried to create a new rule :

esxcli storage nmp satp rule add -s "VMW_SATP_ALUA" -P "VMW_PSP_RR" -O iops=100 -c "tpgs_on" -V "3PARdata" -M "VV" -e "HP 3PAR Custom Rule"

Error adding SATP user rule: Sysinfo error on operation returned status : Bad parameter. Please see the VMkernel log for detailed error information

Do i have to delete the first rule?  How do i delete a satp claim rule?

Cheers

Tyler

Hi,

I am not certain as I've not done it, but I think becuase you have defined a SATP rule for that SATP on that PSP with the same model/vendor details you cannot just over write it.

To remove it, run the same command that you used to add, but replace it with the word remove :smileyhappy:

esxcli storage nmp satp rule REMOVE -s "VMW_SATP_ALUA" -P "VMW_PSP_RR" -O iops=1 -c "tpgs_on" -V "3PARdata" -M "VV" -e "HP 3PAR Custom Rule"

Then try adding in the same rule back again with your new option value of 100.
