You can specify a limit for the bandwidth to be used by source-to-target communications for this protection
job. In the
Bandwidth Limit area, select the Limit Bandwidth checkbox, then enter a value (in kilobits per second)
that bandwidth cannot exceed.
When you are finished, click
Save.
NOTE: A snapshot transmission cycle from the source to the target will begin when either of the threshold
conditions are met: time or size. During the snapshot transmission cycle, the thresholds are not monitored.
After the snapshot transmission cycle has completed, the application will again monitor these thresholds. If
either of the thresholds were crossed during the snapshot transmission cycle, then a new transmission cycle will
begin immediately.
You may need to adjust the data transmission frequency options to optimize performance in your environment.
Some factors you need to consider when adjusting these settings include the volume of write traffic in the
virtual machine, the allowed data loss time period, and the cost to the virtual infrastructure.
Set e-mail notification options
You can configure e-mail addresses and select the events that you want to trigger automatic e-mail alerts.
Click the
Change button in the E-mail notifications area. The Configure e-mail notifications window will appear.
If you have not yet configured an e-mail server, a message will appear at the top of the window prompting you
to set up the e-mail server. Click
Configure to launch the Set up e-mail server window. For more information, see
“Set up the E-mail Server” on page 8.
NOTE: The e-mail server configuration will apply to all jobs.
