The impact policy defines the number of parallel tasks or workers that can run at one time within OneFS. Leave the impact policy as it is, unless Isilon directs you to change one or more policies.
- Releases with OneFS 7.0 or greater
- Dell recommends using OneFS 7.0 or later to maximize bandwidth and minimize video review response times. You can use the default impact policy with Isilon X400, Isilon X410, Isilon NL410, and greater. For less powerful nodes, such as the Isilon X200 and earlier running OneFS 7.0 or greater, modify all jobs to use an impact policy of Low.
- Releases prior to OneFS 7.0
- For releases prior to OneFS 7.0, the best I/O performance is obtained by configuring all background jobs with the impact policy set to Low. To set the impact policy select .
- Priority configuration
- Even if the impact policy is modified, for example, by changing the settings of all the jobs to Low, the priority of the jobs remains at their default settings.
