4. In the right pane, click the Remote Cluster tab, select a remote cluster, then click Edit Settings. The Edit Settings dialog box
appears.
5. Congure the VIP of the remote cluster and the port to use for replication (10560 or 3260). The chosen port must be open in
any rewall between the clusters.
6. Click OK.
Delete a Replication Partnership
When you delete a replication partnership, the replication relationship between the source and target FluidFS clusters is discontinued.
When deleting a replication partnership, ensure that both systems are up and running. If both systems are up, the replication
partnership is deleted on both systems. If one of the systems is down or unreachable, the partnership is deleted only on the system
that is up. After the other system comes back up, the partnership must be deleted on that system too.
Prerequisite
Replications between the replication partners must be deleted.
Steps
1. Click the Storage view and select a FluidFS cluster.
2. Click the File System tab.
3. In the File System tab navigation pane, select Replications.
4. Click the Remote Cluster tab.
5. In the right pane, select a remote FluidFS cluster and click Delete. The Delete dialog box appears.
6. Click OK.
Replication Throttling
With replication throttling, users can ne-tune network bandwidth usage for replication of a pair of NAS volumes between two
clusters. Users can limit FluidFS replications bandwidth usage by:
• Lowering bandwidth usage during work hours and higher bandwidth consumption during nighttime.
• Increasing bandwidth usage during weekends
How Replication Throttling Works
• Creates a new system entity named QoS node and dene bandwidth allocation in KBps.
• Denes usage percentage per hour of the week
• Binds a QoS (Quality of Service) node (network level) of outgoing trac to a replication. The average network usage should not
exceed the bandwidth allocation in a minute timeframe. The default is not to limit the bandwidth for replication.
Limitations
The following limitations apply to replication throttling:
• The maximum number of active outgoing replications is 10. If there are more, they are queued.
• The maximum number of active incoming replications is 100. If there are more, they are queued.
• The maximum number of replication partners is 100.
• The maximum number of replicated NAS volumes or containers (source and target) on a cluster is 1024.
• The maximum number of replication schedules per system is 1024.
Dene a QoS Node
Create a QoS (Quality of Service) denition to bind a QoS node (network level) of outgoing trac to a replication.
1. Click the Storage view and select a FluidFS cluster.
2. Click the File System tab.
3. Select Replications in the File System panel.
4. In the right pane, click the QoS Nodes tab.
5. Click Create QoS Node. The Create Replication QoS dialog box appears.
