3. Repeat the limit bandwidth schedule add command to create a comprehensive bandwidth schedule. For
example, if you want to limit Storage Mirroring bandwidth usage weekdays (Monday - Friday) from 6:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.
and have unlimited bandwidth usage outside of those times, you would create two events. The first event would be for
Monday through Friday, would start at 6:00 a.m., and would limit the bandwidth to the desired rate. The second event
would be Monday through Friday, would start at 8:00 p.m., and would not limit the bandwidth. (To create an unlimited
event, set the limit option to the keyword UNLIMITED.) In this schedule, on Monday at 6:00 a.m., the schedule limit
would be applied, limiting the transfer of data. At 8:00 p.m. that night, the schedule limit would be applied again,
unlimiting the transfer of data. At 6:00 a.m. Tuesday morning, the schedule would be applied again. This would continue
until the Friday 8:00 p.m. schedule is applied. That event would remain in effect until Monday morning at 6:00 a.m.
4. If you want to review the schedule for a target, use the limit bandwidth schedule list command.
5. If you need to remove a scheduled event, use the limit bandwidth schedule remove command.
Notes
 This command transmits in bursts, not bytes per seconds. The time identifies how long to wait
before transmitting again. For example, if 5 seconds are specified and it only takes 2 seconds to
send the specified bytes, Storage Mirroring will wait an additional 3 seconds before transmitting
again.
