Establishing the simulated connection
After you have created a replication set, you can establish the simulated connection through the
Connection Manager by connecting the replication set to the TDU.
1. Opening the Connection Manager to establish the connection.
 Highlight the replication set and select Tools, Connection Manager.
 Right-click on the replication set and select Connection Manager.
2. The Connection Manager opens to the Servers tab. Depending on how you opened the
Connection Manager, some entries on the Servers tab will be completed already. For example, if
you accessed the Connection Manager by right-clicking on a replication set, the name of the
replication set will be displayed in the Connection Manager. Verify or complete the fields on the
Servers tab.
 Source Server—Specify the source server that contains the replication set that is going to be
simulated to the TDU.
 Replication Set—At least one replication set must exist on the source before establishing a
connection. Specify the replication set that will be connected to the TDU.
 Target Server—Select the Diagnostics target.
 Route—After selecting the Diagnostics target, the Route will automatically be populated with
Throughput Diagnostics Utility (TDU).
 Mappings—Mappings are not required when simulating a connection because no data is
actually transmitted to the target.
 Start Mirror on Connection—Make sure this option is selected so that your simulation will
be realistic.
 Start Replication on Connection—Make sure this option is selected so that your simulation
will be realistic.
3. Click Connect to establish the connection. The simulation data will be logged to the Storage
Mirroring statistics file. See DTStat on page 15-19 for more information.
