4. Enter the Transfer Settings options for the machine as described in the following
table.
Text Box Description
Priority Sets the transfer priority between protected machines.
Enables you to assign priority by comparison with other
protected machines. Select a number from 1 to 10, with 1
being the highest priority. The default setting establishes a
priority of 5.
NOTE: Priority is applied to transfers that are in the queue.
Maximum Concurrent Streams Sets the maximum number of TCP links that are sent to the
Core to be processed in parallel per agent.
NOTE: Dell recommends setting this value to 8. If you
experience dropped packets, try increasing this setting.
Maximum Concurrent Writes Sets the maximum number of simultaneous disk write
actions per agent connection.
NOTE: Dell recommends setting this to the same value you
select for Maximum Concurrent Streams. If you experience
packet loss, set slightly lower—for example, if Maximum
Current Streams is 8, set this to 7.
Maximum Retries Sets the maximum number of retries for each protected
machine, if some of the operations fail to complete.
Maximum Segment Size Specifies the largest amount of data, in bytes, that a
computer can receive in a single TCP segment. The default
setting is 4194304.
CAUTION: Do not change this setting from the default.
Maximum Transfer Queue Depth Specifies the amount of commands that can be sent
concurrently. You can adjust this to a higher number if
your system has a high number of concurrent input/output
operations.
Outstanding Reads per Stream Specifies how many queued read operations will be stored
on the back end. This setting helps to control the queuing
of agents.
NOTE: Dell recommends setting this value to 24.
