Limiting transmission bandwidth
Bandwidth limitations are available to restrict the amount of network bandwidth used for
Storage Mirroring Recover data transmissions. The network administrator specifies a
percentage of bandwidth that is available or an absolute bandwidth limit for Storage
Mirroring Recover transmissions and Storage Mirroring Recover never exceeds that
allotted amount. The bandwidth not in use by Storage Mirroring Recover is available for
all other network traffic. You can schedule when you want bandwidth limiting to occur.
Note: Any replication sets from a source connected to the same IP address on a target
will share the same bandwidth limitation configuration.
You will not be able to set a limit lower than 100% of a 28.8 Kbps connection
speed. A setting this low would cause abnormal behavior between Storage
Mirroring Recover servers because of the lengthy delay between commands and
responses transmitted between the two servers.
You cannot set a bandwidth limit of zero (0). If you need to stop data transmission
completely, use the stop criteria on the Connection Manager Transmit tab.
1. Open the Replication Console .
2. Right-click the connection on the right pane of the Replication Console and select
Connection Manager.
3. Select the Bandwidth tab.
