The first step in configuring a per policy bandwidth reservation is to configure a global bandwidth performance rule, as explained in SyncIQ performance rules. From the CLI, the global bandwidth reservation is configured using the isi sync rules command.
After a global bandwidth reservation is configured, a per-policy bandwidth reservation is configured for new or existing policies using the –-bandwidth-reservation option in bits per second with the isi sync policies command.
