Setting bandwidth limitations
1. Select the Bandwidth option in the Limit Type box.
2. Mark the Limit Bandwidth check box to enable the bandwidth limiting features.
3. Define the bandwidth available for Storage Mirroring transmission by using either of the following options:
 Percentage—Specify the percentage of bandwidth to be used for Storage Mirroring transmissions and the total
bandwidth capacity that is available.
 Transfer Rate (bytes/second)—Specify the number of bytes to send every second.
4. If no additional transmission options need to be set, establish the connection by clicking Connect.
NOTE: The only value that is persistently stored is the number of bytes per second. When the page is refreshed, the
percentage and available bandwidth may not be the same value that you entered. Storage Mirroring changes
these values to the maximum values for the smallest possible link. For example, if you enter
10% of T1, this is
equivalent to 19300 bytes/second. If you select another transmit option or another tab of the Connection
Manager and then return to the bandwidth option, Storage Mirroring will change the value to
60% of 256 Kbps
which is also equivalent to 19300 bytes/second.
