Source

The Source tab contains settings specific to the source module of Storage Mirroring.

Replication Packets to 1 Mirror Packet—You can specify the ratio of replication packets to

mirror packets that are placed in the source queue. Specify a larger number if you have a busy

network that has heavy replication. Also, if you anticipate increased network activity during a

mirror, increase this number so that the replication queue does not get too large.

Replicate NT Security by Name—This is a Windows option only.

Ignore Delete Operations—This option allows you to keep files on the target machine after they

are deleted on the source. When a file is deleted on the source, that delete operation is not sent

to the target. (All edits to files on the source are still replicated to the target; only deletions of

whole files are ignored.) This option may be useful to give you an opportunity to make a backup

of these files in the event they are needed in the future.

Maximum Pending Mirror Operations—This option is the maximum number of mirror

operations that are queued on the source. The default setting is

1000

. If, during mirroring, the

mirror queued statistic regularly shows low numbers, for example, less than

50

, this value can

be increased to allow Storage Mirroring to queue more data for transfer.

Size of Mirror Packets—This option determines the size of the mirror packets that Storage

Mirroring transmits. The default setting is

32768

bytes.

NOTE:

If delete operations are ignored long enough, the potential exists for the target to run

out of space. In that case, you can manually delete files from the target to free space.
