Configuring the Number of Allowed Sources and Replication Streams
60 Quantum DXi6900 G1 User’s Guide
Caution: If the maximum number of allowed sources is increased on
the target without a corresponding decrease in the number
of replication streams used by the sources, replications and
other operations will begin to fail because the maximum
number of blockpool connections will be exceeded.
Both of the number of allowed resources and the number of replication
streams are controlled by configurable variables.
Note: To change the maximum number of allowed sources for a
target, a reboot of the target system is necessary. Similarly, to
change the maximum number of replication streams that a
source uses, a reboot of each source system is necessary.
Configuring the Source
and Target Systems
Configuring the number of allowed sources and replication streams
consists of the following steps:
• Configuring the Source System
• Configuring the Target System
Configuring the Source System
To change the number of replication streams used, you must perform
the following steps on each source system.
1 Connect to the DXi6900 G1 Node (see Connecting to the DXi6900
G1 Node on page 32).
2 Edit the ObjectManager.conf file (using VI editor) in the /data/
hurricane/conf directory.
3 In the ObjectManager.conf file, change the variable
<MaxReplicationStreams> to the new value.
