l If namespace replication is paused midway through a replication job, the job will fail.
l If namespace replication is paused before the replication job starts, the job will sit in the queue until
replication is resumed. When resumed the job will start and replication will occur.
l Trigger replication can be paused midway through a replication job. When resumed the job will
continue from where it was paused.
Enabling System Throttling
Enable system throttling to limit the network bandwidth used for replication to all targets. When a constant
throttle is enabled, the DXi limits the amount of data it sends during source replication so that it does not
exceed the specified bandwidth.
AdditionalInformation
l If multiple targets are configured, replication to all targets counts against the same bandwidth limit.
l To vary the replication throttle rate over time, use the Configuration>Scheduler page (see
Scheduler on page 279). Do not enable a constant throttle if a throttle schedule is configured. The
scheduled replication throttling bandwidth settings take precedence over the constant throttle value.
(The currently active replication throttle rate appears on the Home page under CurrentActivity.)
To enable system replication throttling:
1. Under TargetDXis, click the box next to Throttling.
The ReplicationThrottle window displays (see Figure 170 below).
Figure170:Replication Throttle
2. Select the Enablesystemthrottling check box, or clear the check box to disable system throttling.
