Working with resources

Best practices for automatic refresh

The refresh of storage systems information during an automatic refresh can take a significant
amount of time and place heavy demands on the management server and storage systems. See
refreshing resources
Depending on the circumstances, administrators may want to adjust the replication managers's automatic
refresh interval. See configuration,
Typical circumstances include:
• If other applications are using the same storage arrays, or are installed on the same management
server, a short discovery and database refresh interval may slow the performance of the storage
arrays or management server. In this case, consider a longer period.
• If the storage configuration is large, or there are delays in the environment, discovery and
database refresh can take a long time and may slow the replication manager. In this case,
consider a longer interval.
• If you are configuring an environment or performing testing, the default discovery and database
refresh interval may be too long for changes to be reflected quickly. In this case, consider
temporarily setting the interval to a few minutes.
• If you are only monitoring storage, the default discovery and database refresh interval may be
shorter than required. In this case, consider setting the interval to several hours.
