Because of this, you may need to sum the values for all slave devices in the bonded interface to
calculate the overall outgoing traffic rate.
l The replication throttle bandwidth maximum is specified in KB/s or MB/s, so depending on the statistic
or report you are observing, you may need to convert the bandwidth maximum to Kb/s or Mb/s in order
to correctly compare it to the observed values.
Scheduling E-mail Reports
The DXi6900 can automatically generate a report with system status data or with configuration data and
send it to all configured e-mail recipients.

When you schedule healthchecks, only the healthchecks that are currently enabled are run.
Note:For more information about enabling healthchecks, see Healthchecks on page 358.
