Setting bandwidth limitations
1.
Select the
Bandwidth
option in the
Limit Type
box.
2.
Mark the
Limit Bandwidth
check box to enable the bandwidth limiting features.
3.
Define the bandwidth available for Storage Mirroring transmission
!
Connection Speed
—Specify the total bandwidth capacity that is available
!
Percentage
—Specify the percentage of bandwidth to be used for Storage Mirroring transmissions
The
Transfer Rate
will automatically be calculated.
4.
If no additional transmission options need to be set, establish the connection by clicking
Connect
.
NOTE:
The only value that is persistently stored is the
Transfer Rate
. When the page is refreshed, the percentage and
available bandwidth may not be the same value that you entered. Stoarge Mirroring changes these values
to the maximum values for the smallest possible link. For example, if you enter
10%
of
T1
, this is equivalent to
19300
bytes/second. If you select another transmit option or another tab of the Connection Manager and
then return to the bandwidth option, Storage Mirroring will change the value to
60%
of
256 Kbps
which
is also equivalent to
19300
bytes/second.
