setting is higher. It is set to
25 by default.

Resync. Priority This field allows you to customize your resync priority. 25% is the default setting.
Resync is used to synchronize the volumes. Setting the resync priority closer to 100%
makes the volumes more current, however it takes more system resources (such as CPU
and memory resources) when this setting is higher.
Remote Host This field displays the IP Address of the Remote Host. In the event that the IP Address
changes on the Remote Host (such as the case when using DHCP), you can update the new
IP Address by typing it into this field. In the case of a local replication pair (involving two
volumes in the same local box, this column will show “local”.
