Configuring the Source System
To change the number of replication streams used, you must perform the following steps on each source
system.
1. Connect to the DXi6900-S Node (see
Connecting to the DXi6900-S Node on page 27
).
2. Edit the
ObjectManager.conf
file (using
VI
editor) in the
/data/hurricane/conf
directory.
3. In the
ObjectManager.conf
file, change the variable
<MaxReplicationStreams>
to the new value.
Caution:
The maximum number of replication streams on the source plus one multiplied by the
number of replication sources configured on the target
must not
exceed 90. Expressed as a
formula:
[MaxReplicationStreams on 1] x [Number of Replication Sources Configured on Target]
<= 90
4. Reboot the source system using the
Utilities > Reboot & Shutdown
page in the remote management
console.
Configuring the Target System
To change the maximum allowed sources that replicate to the target system:
1. Connect to the DXi6900-S Node (see
Connecting to the DXi6900-S Node on page 27
).
2. Edit the
DXi6800.conf
file (using
VI
editor) in the
/data/hurricane/conf
directory.
3. In the
.conf
file, change the variable
<MaxAllowedReplicationSources>
to the new value.
Caution:
The maximum number of allowed replication sources on the target multiplied by the
number of replication streams configured on the source plus one
must not
exceed 90. Expressed as
a formula:
[MaxAllowedReplicationSources] x [Number of Replication Streams on 1] <= 90
4. Reboot the source system using the
Utilities > Reboot & Shutdown
page in the remote management
console.
