What IOPS should be used with Storage I/O control (SIOC) to limitdisk throughput to roughly 15MPS if the guest application writes 64KB?
A.
320
B.
240
C.
64
D.
150
Explanation:
64 KB * 240 = 15630 KB / 1024 = 15 MB

“The benefits and drawbacks of setting resource limits are described in Resource Allocation Limit. If the limit you want to set for a virtual machine is in terms of MB per second instead of IOPS, you can convert MB per second into IOPS based on the typical I/O size for that virtual machine. For example, to restrict a backup application with 64KB IOs to 10MB per second, set a limit of 160 IOPS.”
