Configure Bandwidth Limitations for a Replication Partner
Bandwidth
limits are expressed in megabits per second (Mbps) or kilobits
per second (Kbps). The default unit is Mbps.
Note: The following limitations apply to setting bandwidth limitations:
- You cannot set bandwidth limitations on pool partners for synchronous replication.
- If you set per-partner bandwidth throttling, you cannot set an overall bandwidth limit for all replications. You can limit bandwidth by using an overall policy or per-partner limits, not both.
Procedure
- Select Manage > Data Protection > Replication Partners.
- Check the replication partner whose bandwidth you want to define.
- Click the pencil icon to edit the replication partner.
- In the Edit replication partner dialog box, click Next to open the QoS Policy page. Further policies must be set to use less bandwidth than the limit that is set here.
-
To add per-partner throttling, click Add Policy and complete the following fields.
- Type a description of the per-partner limit.
- Set the bandwidth limit.
- Set the time period during which this limit should be in effect.
- Select the days of the week during which this limit should be in effect.
- Optional. Click Add Policy to create as many bandwidth limitation schedules as needed for different time periods, days of the week, or both.
- Click Save.
