Abstract
Example implementations relate to end-to-end quality of service in storage area networks. For example, a method includes receiving input at a target from a user, the input to assign a priority level to a logical unit. This may include registering the logical unit priority level at a switch using an in-band communication in response to the priority level being assigned to the logical unit. This can also include instructing a host to implement the priority level using the in-band communication in response to the priority level being assigned to the logical unit. Further, the methods and systems may enforce the priority level with the host, the switch, and the target.
