Scheduling Replication Throttling
During replication throttling, the DXi4701 limits the amount of source
replication data it sends to not exceed a specified maximum bandwidth.
Schedule replication throttling to control the amount of network
bandwidth used by source replication at certain times. For example, you
might configure replication throttling to occur during planned backup
times to avoid network contention.
Note: For more information about configuring the DXi4701 for
replication, see DXi4701 Replication on page 113.
To schedule replication throttling:
1
On the
Scheduler
page, add or edit an event in the
Replication
Throttle
row (see Adding or Editing a Scheduled Event on
page 295).
2
Specify the maximum allowed bandwidth by entering a value in the
Bandwidth
box and selecting the units in the drop-down box (
KB/s
or
MB/s
). The lowest value you can set is 32 KB/s. The highest value
you can set is 125 MB/s.
