Managing QoreStor > Bandwidth Throttling > bw_throttle --delete_all

Description

Deletes all schedules for a target system or all schedules for all target systems. It will also delete the default bandwidth.

Syntax

qs_bw_throttle --delete_all
		[--all_target]
		[--target=<IP address/Host name>]

Where

--all_targets: Delete all schedules and default bandwidth for all targets.
--target 	IP address or host name of the target QoreStor system.

Result

Successfully deleted all schedule for IP: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

bw_throttle --sync_on_restart

Managing QoreStor > Bandwidth Throttling > bw_throttle --sync_on_restart

Description

Sync all the schedules after the system restarts. You do not need to execute this command as it will be automatically executed after service ocards restart or a system reboot.

Syntax

qs_bw_throttle --sync_on_restart

Result

All bandwidth throttling schedules are successfully synced.

bw_throttle --show

Managing QoreStor > Bandwidth Throttling > bw_throttle --show

Description

Displays the default bandwidth and schedules established for all designated QoreStor systems. If a specific target is provided, the schedules and default bandwidth for that particular system will be displayed.

Syntax

qs_bw_throttle --show
	        [--target=<IP address/Host name>]

Where

--target  IP address or host name of the target QoreStor system

Result

Default bandwidth details:

Sr. No.	Target_IP	Host Name	Device Name	Default_Bandwidth(Mbps)
1	xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx	abc	eth0	10

Scheduled bandwidth details:

Sr. No.	Target_IP	Host Name	Device Name	Default_Bandwidth(Mbps)	Start_day	End_day	Start_time	End_time
1	xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx	xyz	eth0	100000000	Friday	Friday	01:00	02:00

NOTE: If host name is not provided as target at the time of adding the schedule, host_name will be shown as "-" in the output.

bw_throttle --check_status

Managing QoreStor > Bandwidth Throttling > bw_throttle --check_status

Description

Displays the currently implemented bandwidth throttling for all the QoreStor systems. If a specific target is specified, the system will indicate the bandwidth throttling that is currently in effect for that particular target.

Syntax

qs_bw_throttle --check_status
	        [--target=<IP address/Host name>]

Where

--target  IP address or host name of the target QoreStor system

Result

Bandwidth throttling applied at present:

Sr. No.	Target_IP	Host Name	Device Name	Default_Bandwidth(Mbps)	Schedule-window
1	xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx	xxx-xxx	eth0	10	Outside schedule
2	xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx	xxx-xxx	eth0	1024	No schedule

NOTE: If the host name is not given as a target at the time of adding the schedule, host_name will be shown as "-" in the output.
