Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP

Limit the max transfer rate of a replication relationship

Contributors netapp-rlithman

Limit the max transfer rate of a replication relationship in NetApp Workload Factory. 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 might 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.
