Limit the max transfer rate of a replication relationship. An unlimited transfer rate might negatively impact the performance of other applications and your network.

About this task

Limiting the max transfer rate is optional but recommended. Without a limit, network and application performance may decline.

Alternatively, we recommend an unlimited transfer rate for FSx for ONTAP file systems for critical workloads, for example, those that are used primarily for disaster recovery.

Before you begin

Consider how much bandwidth to allocate for replication.

Steps

  1. Log in to the Workload Factory console

  2. In Storage, select Go to storage inventory.

  3. In the FSx for ONTAP tab, click the three dots menu of the file system to update and then select Manage.

  4. From the file system overview, select the Replication relationships tab.

  5. In the Replication relationships tab, click the three dots menu of the replication relationship to limit the max transfer rate for.

  6. Select Edit max transfer rate.

  7. In the Edit max transfer rate dialog, select Limited and enter the max transfer limit in MB/s.

    Alternatively, select Unlimited.

  8. Click Apply.
