IO Priority

Overview#

You can configure IO priority as a customizable option for SolusVM VZ container products in WHMCS. This allows customers to select their desired IO priority when ordering.

To configure IO priority as a customizable option:

1. Log in to your WHMCS administrator web interface.

2. Navigate to System Settings > Configurable Options.

   The following image shows the configurable options interface:

3. Click Create a New Group or select an existing group.

   Note:

   Keep the configurable option group for resource selection separate from other groups. You can use one configurable option group for several resources, but do not mix them with Operating System, Application, or Location.
   

4. Enter a name for your group, select the product you created earlier to assign to the group, and then click Save Changes.

5. Click Add New Configurable Option.

   The system opens a new browser window where you specify the option settings.

6. Enter IO Priority in the option name field and select Dropdown as the option type.

7. In the Add Option field, enter the option value following the pattern: IO_VALUE|RESOURCE_NAME, and then click Save Changes. The pattern components are:

   • IO_VALUE — The I/O priority for the SolusVM VPS.
   • RESOURCE_NAME — The name of the resource option to display in WHMCS.

   In this example, options are added to set IO priority to 1 (IO_VALUE 1) or 2 (IO_VALUE 2) as a configurable option.

8. Repeat the previous step for each IO priority option you want to offer. Once finished, click Close Window.
