The Policy Agent can act as a policy server, a policy client, or
neither. For more information on these different roles, see Policy types and infrastructure overview. Regardless of which option is used to configure QoS
policies, the resulting configuration files need to be specified using
different statements, depending on the role of the Policy Agent.
- If you are using the Policy Agent as a policy client that retrieves
QoS policies from the policy server, specify the configuration files
using the DynamicConfigPolicyLoad statement on the policy server.
- If you are using the Policy Agent as a policy client, but the
policy client does not retrieve QoS policies from the policy server,
specify the configuration files using the QOSConfig statement on the
policy client, or configure the QoS policies directly in the image
file specified on the TcpImage statement.
- If you are not using a policy client/policy server environment,
specify the configuration files using the QOSConfig statement on the
single Policy Agent, or configure the QoS policies directly in the
image file specified on the TcpImage statement.
When specifying configuration files, keep in mind where the files
should exist, based on the role of the Policy Agent.
