Replication

system throttling check box to disable the constant replication
throttle.
When a constant throttle is enabled, the DXi limits the amount of
data it sends during source replication so that it does not exceed the
specified bandwidth.
Specify the maximum allowed bandwidth by entering a value in the
Replication Throttle box and select 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.
Caution:
Do not set the maximum allowed bandwidth to a value
that is lower than necessary. If the maximum allowed
bandwidth is set to the lowest value, large replication
jobs may fail.
Note: To vary the replication throttle rate over time, use the
Configuration > Scheduler page (see Scheduler on
page 353). Do
not
enable a constant throttle if a throttle
schedule is configured. The scheduled replication throttling
bandwidth settings take precedence over the constant
throttle value. (The currently active replication throttle rate
appears on the Home page under Current Activity .)

Replication Receive
The Replication Receive page allows you to specify the source systems
the DXi8500 will receive replicated data from. You must add a source
system to the list of allowed replication sources before you configure
the source to send replicated data to the DXi8500. The DXi8500 can
receive replicated data from up to 10 sources. You can also specify the
number of received snapshots that are retained for each source.
Note: For more information about working with received snapshots,
see Receive NAS on page 191 or Receive VTL on page 203.
