Actual Data Sent The amount of data actually sent over the network during replication or failback.
This value is usually much less than the Original Data Size due to the benefits of
data deduplication and compression.
Average Send Rate The average send rate (in B/s) of data sent over the network during replication or
failback (Actual Data Sent divided by the amount of time required to complete
replication or failback).
You can customize the appearance of the DXis list in the following ways:
l Click the top banner row of the list to collapse or expand the list.
l Click the arrow to the right of a column heading and select Sort Ascending or Sort Descending to sort
the rows in the table by that column.
l To show or hide a column, click the arrow to the right of a column heading, and then click Columns.
Select the check box to show a column, or clear the check box to hide a column.
Note: The statistics in the Target DXis list are for each target DXi rather than a cumulative total for all
targets as is displayed on the Home page.
Adding a Replication Target
Add a replication target to configure the DXi4700 to send replicated data to that target. You can add up to
two targets. After you add a target, you can enable replication to that target for a NAS share or VTL partition.
When replication is enabled for a share or partition, replicated data is sent to the target system during
scheduled or manual replication.
Additional Information
l Before you can add a replication target, you must add the DXi to the list of allowed replication sources
on the target DXi (see Adding a Replication Source on page 261).
l To add a new target when two targets are already configured, first delete one target (see Deleting a
Replication Target on page 258). Then add the new target.
l For more information about enabling and scheduling replication for a share or partition, see
Replication Send on page 129.
To add a replication target:
1. Under Target DXis, click Add.
The Add Target Host window displays (see Figure 160 on the next page).
