how to identify bandwidth speed for Virtual Hard Disk

[harishpathangay]

Hi,
I am able to assign or limit band width of Virtual HDD using command line.

After it is assigned. how to look which hard disk is associated with which bandwidth limit.

what is the command for that?

thanks,

Tried the manual, ch. 8.20 VBoxManage bandwidthctl? You don't look for disks, you look for VMs that have a limit:

• VBoxManage bandwidthctl <uuid|vmname> list [--machinereadable]

Hi,
YOUTUBE.COM/DB2LUWACADEMY## VBoxManage bandwidthctl Matay list


Name: 'IOB', Type: Disk, Limit: 1 Mbytes/sec
Name: 'BOI', Type: Disk, Limit: 5 Mbytes/sec
Name: 'CIOB', Type: Disk, Limit: 2 Mbytes/sec

Please look at the output. It does not tell me which Disk is with Which Limit?

I can't look at the output. The "link" to the video that you posted is not valid. Most probably because you CAPITALIZED everything. To be honest, I don't really feel like watching a video, when I don't have to. The output of the VBoxManage commands is "text", not "motion picture".

As stated in the manual, the bandwidth is enforced per VM, not per disk.

hi,
Here is the text output.

VBoxManage bandwidthctl Matay list
Name: 'IOB', Type: Disk, Limit: 1 Mbytes/sec
Name: 'BOI', Type: Disk, Limit: 5 Mbytes/sec
Name: 'CIOB', Type: Disk, Limit: 2 Mbytes/sec

Please look at the output. It does not tell me which Disk is with Which Limit? Matay is the VM name.

In One VM i have 4 Disks. 3 of them with 3 bandwidth speeds. One disk with No bandwidth set.
I do not know how to figure out which disk is associated with which band width group within the same VM.

No need to watch any video.
Please let me know.

thanks,

Let me get this right...

• You created 3 different limit groups for your VM: Limit1, Limit2 and Limit5.
• You have 4 different hard drives in your VM: IOB, CIOB, BOI and a 4th one.
• You assigned IOB to Limit1, CIOB to Limit2, BOI to Limit5, and the 4th one with no bandwidth limit.
• You want to find which HD is assigned to which limit.

You can't do it with VBoxManage from what I could find out. The only way that I could find was to look directly into the .vbox of the VM.

Hi,
VBoxManage bandwidthctl Matay list
Name: 'IOB', Type: Disk, Limit: 1 Mbytes/sec
Name: 'BOI', Type: Disk, Limit: 5 Mbytes/sec
Name: 'CIOB', Type: Disk, Limit: 2 Mbytes/sec

These are the 3 bandwidth groups with limits.
There are 4 hard disks, i am not providing you any names of vdi files.
The names IOB,BOI,CIOB are bandwidth group names or limit names as i do not know exact technical term for it.

Thanks,
