Modifying transfer settings
You can modify the settings to manage the data transfer processes for a protected machine. The transfer
settings described in this section are agent-level settings. To affect transfer at the core level, see
Modifying The Transfer Queue Settings
.
CAUTION: Changing transfer settings could have dramatic effects on your AppAssure
environment. Before modifying transfer settings values, refer to the Transfer Performance Tuning
Guide in the Dell AppAssure knowledge base.
There are three types of transfers in DL1000:
Snapshots
The transfer that backs up the data on your protected machine.
VM Export
A type of transfer that creates a virtual machine with all of the backup information
and parameters as specified by the schedule defined for protecting the machine.
Restore
A process that restores backup information on a protected machine.
Data transfer in DL1000 involves the transmission of a volume of data along a network from AppAssure
Agent machines to the Core. In the case of replication, transfer also occurs from the originating or source
Core to the target Core.
Data transfer can be optimized for your system through certain performance option settings. These
settings control data bandwidth usage during the process of backing up agent machines, performing VM
export, or performing a rollback. Some factors that affect data transfer performance are:
• Number of concurrent agent data transfers
• Number of concurrent data streams
• Amount of data change on disk
• Available network bandwidth
• Repository disk subsystem performance
• Amount of memory available for data buffering
You can adjust the performance options to best support your business needs and fine-tune the
performance based on your environment.
To modify transfer settings:
1.
In the Core Console, navigate to the machine you want to modify.
