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.
