If namespace replication is paused midway through a replication job, the job will fail.
l
If namespace replication is paused before the replication job starts, the job will sit in the queue until
replication is resumed. When resumed the job will start and replication will occur.
l
Trigger replication can be paused midway through a replication job. When resumed the job will
continue from where it was paused.
Enabling System Throttling
Enable system throttling to limit the network bandwidth used for replication to all targets. 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.
Additional Information
l
If multiple targets are configured, replication to all targets counts against the same bandwidth limit.
l
To vary the replication throttle rate over time, use the
Configuration > Scheduler
page (see
). 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
.)
To enable system replication throttling:
1. Under
Target DXis
, click the box next to
Throttling
.
