You use the ipqosconf tool to read the IPQoS configuration file and configure the IPQoS modules in the UNIX kernel. The next procedure uses as an example the file /var/ipqos/Goldweb.qos, which is created in Creating IPQoS Configuration Files for Web Servers. For detailed information, refer to the ipqosconf(1m) man page.
Become superuser on the IPQoS-enabled system.
# /usr/sbin/ipqosconf -a /var/ipqos/Goldweb.qos |
ipqosconf writes the information in the specified IPQoS configuration file into the IPQoS modules in the Solaris kernel. In the previous example, the contents of /var/ipqos/Goldweb.qos are applied to the current Solaris kernel.
When you apply an IPQoS configuration file with the -a option, the actions in the file are active for the current session only.
Test and debug the new IPQoS configuration.
Use UNIX utilities to track IPQoS behavior and gather statistics on your IPQoS implementation. Thus, you can determine if the configuration operates as you expected.
