Run QoS by a schedule

JohnChen — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 23:32:09 GMT

I wonder whether I can run the QoS by schedule on Ontap cluster 8.2.1.

I want to apply QoS - like MAX IOPS 750 on Vol during the business hours.

After business hours, I want to apply QoS like MAX IOPS 2000 or even disable QoS on the vol.

Is this doable?

Hey,

directly in ONTAP, this is not possible - however, this can be easily scripted or autmated with WFA or NetApp PowerShell Toolkit.

Have a look at this blog post on howto create a schedule in WFA. It could be as easy as changing the IOPS limit of the volumes in question at a given time.

Hope that helps!

Clemens

I got it work by WFA.

Thanks.
