I am seeing two different areas where we can specify the bandwidth usage for SnapMirror replication, and wanted to know the difference.<br />
<br />
The first place, is the command that we run on our source NetApp:<br />
<b>options replication.throttle.outgo<wbr />ing.max_kb<wbr />s 1024 </b><br />
<br />
The second place is in the OnCommand System Manager 2.0:<br />
SnapMirror -&gt; Choose a Source Volume -&gt; and in the details section you see this setting .... Data Transfer Rate (kbps)<br />
<br />
Please confirm if my suspicions are correct. The first command was a system wide setting that no total sum of outgoing bandwidth can exceed the bandwidth specified in the command. While in the second setting, you can specify the maximum bandwidth per volume. The second setting seems to be more granular. Please confirm if this is true.<br />
<br />
Thanks.

I am seeing two different areas where we can specify the bandwidth usage for SnapMirror replication, and wanted to know the difference.

The first place, is the command that we run on our source NetApp:
options replication.throttle.outgoing.max_kbs 1024 

The second place is in the OnCommand System Manager 2.0:
SnapMirror -> Choose a Source Volume -> and in the details section you see this setting .... Data Transfer Rate (kbps)

Please confirm if my suspicions are correct. The first command was a system wide setting that no total sum of outgoing bandwidth can exceed the bandwidth specified in the command. While in the second setting, you can specify the maximum bandwidth per volume. The second setting seems to be more granular. Please confirm if this is true.

NetApp Replication Throttling

I am seeing two different areas where we can specify the bandwidth usage for SnapMirror replication, and wanted to know the difference.

The first place, is the command that we run on our source NetApp:
options replication.throttle.outgoing.max_kbs 1024 

The second place is in the OnCommand System Manager 2.0:
SnapMirror -&amp;gt; Choose a Source Volume -&amp;gt; and in the details section you see this setting .... Data Transfer Rate (kbps)

Please confirm if my suspicions are correct. The first command was a system wide setting that no total sum of outgoing bandwidth can exceed the bandwidth specified in the command. While in the second setting, you can specify the maximum bandwidth per volume. The second setting seems to be more granular. Please confirm if this is true.

Thanks.

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
