Setting bandwidth limitations
With a fixed bandwidth limit, data will be transmitted at all times according to the user specified
bandwidth configuration. If you want to set a fixed bandwidth limit, use the
limit bandwidth
command.
Command LIMIT BANDWIDTH
Description Sets a fixed bandwidth limitation for transmitting data from the source to the
target
Syntax
LIMIT BANDWIDTH <bytes>, <seconds> TO <target>
Options
 bytes—Number of bytes to be transmitted
 seconds—Maximum number of seconds to wait before transmitting again
 target—Name of the target, an IP address on the target, or a virtual IP
address. Depending on the network route Storage Mirroring uses to
access the target, you may need to specify the fully qualified domain
name.
Examples
limit bandwidth 19300, 5 to beta
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.
 Target names that contain non-alphanumeric characters must be
enclosed in quotation marks.
