Limiting bandwidth for a protection job
Bandwidth limitations are available to restrict the amount of network bandwidth used for
Storage Mirroring Replicate data transmissions. When a bandwidth limit is specified,
Storage Mirroring Replicate never exceeds that allotted amount. The bandwidth not in
use by Storage Mirroring Replicate is available for all other network traffic.
l Do not limit bandwidth—Storage Mirroring Replicate will transmit data using
100% bandwidth availability.
l Use a fixed limit (Kbps)—Enter a value in kilobytes per second to limit data
transmission. This is the maximum amount of data that will be transmitted per
second.
l Use scheduled limits—Use a schedule to limit bandwidth for different times.
l New schedule—Click New to create a new scheduled bandwidth limit.
Specify the following information.
l Daytime rule—Select this option if the start and end times of the
bandwidth window occur in the same day (between 12:01 AM and
midnight). The start time must occur before the end time.
l Overnight rule—Select this option if the bandwidth window begins on
one day and continues past midnight into the next day. The start time
must be later than the end time, for example 6 PM to 6 AM.
l Day—Enter the day on which the bandwidth limiting should occur. You
can pick a specific day of the week, Weekdays to have the limiting
