HI Jochen,
have you think about FlexCache?? There you give volumes priorities. I know it is not exactly what you are looking for but perhaps with the help of FlexCache you can sell categories to your departments. Here is a small summary from a NetApp slideset regarding FlexCache:
FlexShare(tm) is enabled when there are system bottlenecks CPU NVRAM Disk
Control of priority by volume Five priority levels

Hi Toasters,
right now i am thinking about any kind of performance indicator for my fileservice. We do supply storage to other departments of our company.
Of course one thing i can sell is space. But there is another indicator which is performance. Has anybody good ideas how to define the performance i can grant to a special service?
I was thinking about I/O's per second but do not know what a good number would be. Has anybody ever had to work out those values and can give me something to think about? I am interesting in any experience you had with this topic...
I/O's, data-throughput, responsetime....And what are good values which i can grant with netapp systems? We use R200, FAS960 and FAS3050.
Thanks in advance
Jochen
