Configure QoS

You can use this topic to create differentiated service policies, integrated service policies, and inbound admission policies.

After you plan for quality of service (QoS), you create your QoS policies using wizards within iSeries™ Navigator. The wizards do an excellent job of leading your through configuration.

After you configure your policies, you can use the configuration objects in iSeries Navigator to edit your policy configuration. The configuration objects are the different pieces or parts that make up a policy. When you open quality of service in iSeries Navigator, there are folders labeled clients, applications, schedules, policies, classes of service, per-hop behaviors, and Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs). These objects allow you to create a policy. For more detailed information about the objects, you can see the Quality of service overview help in iSeries Navigator.

Enable QoS policies

Before your policies can take effect, they must be enabled. If you used the wizards, the server automatically enables the policies for you. However, if you changed a policy using the configuration objects, you need to dynamically update the server before the policies will become active. Before you enable them, be sure to look for overlapping policies that might cause problems.
