## Output Object
The cmdlet returns the `VBRLatencyControlOptions` object that contains settings of the storage latency control on the production datastores.

## Examples

::: example
### Example 1. Modifying I/O Latency Tasks Limit

This command sets the I/O latency limit of new tasks that are targeted at the datastore to 50 ms.

```
Set-VBRStorageLatencyControlOptions -LatencyLimitMs 50
```

:::

::: example
### Example 2. Modifying I/O Latency Speed Limit

This command sets the I/O latency speed limit to 40 ms.

```
Set-VBRStorageLatencyControlOptions -ThrottlingIOLimitMs 40
```
