Issue

  • Quality of Service limit is not enforced when using a maximum (ceiling) limit of IOPS and throughput (MB/s), in addition to a minimum (floor) limit
  • A higher limit of MB/s is allowed than the policy is configured for

Example: A QoS policy is set to 4000IOPS, 300 MB/s max with a floor of 200 IOPS yet is only getting limited at 4000 IOPS but not 300 MB/s
