Adding A Bandwidth Limiting Window - HPE StoreOnce 6500 User Manual

4. The time boxes become editable. Use the spinner menus to select the appropriate hours.
NOTE: Start and End of Restriction times are set and displayed in UTC regardless of the selected
local time zone so adjust accordingly. For example, U.S. CDT (Central Daylight Time) is five hours
behind UTC. If you are in CDT and want a Start of Restriction time of 6:00 p.m., set the start time to
23:00 (instead of 18:00).
If you set an End of Restriction window to 23:59, the blackout window will last until the end of the day
(meaning, the window will end at 23:59:59).
5. Set up as many blackout windows as required.
6. Verify that the Apply First Time Restriction box is checked to ensure that the times that have been
specified are enabled. If not checked, the times are ignored.
7. To enable a second blackout window, make sure the Apply Second Time Restriction box is checked.
The second blackout window for each day must occur after the first blackout window for that day.
8. If working with Federated stores, check the Apply to All Service Sets box to avoid having to make
the same changes to each service set in the team.
9. Click Apply.
Pausing copy jobs (administrators only)
The Pause Copy Jobs button on the Blackout Windows tab places all outbound copy jobs on hold
immediately. Click Pause Copy Jobs a second time to resume outbound copy jobs.

Adding a bandwidth limiting window

Bandwidth limiting can be used to avoid saturating the WAN to free up bandwidth for other processes and
applications. A minimum of 2 Mbps per concurrent job is recommended. At least 512 Kbps per concurrent
job is required for reliable operation. Bandwidth limiting is performed based on average data transfers, not
absolute values.
These limits apply to all outbound copy jobs from this Service Set.
The Bandwidth Limiting Windows tab contains the following sections that relate to bandwidth limiting on
outbound copy jobs:
• Status: Details the current bandwidth limit, if any.
• General bandwidth limit: Administrator users may enable and apply a general bandwidth limit. This is
a simple calculation of:
(Max WAN Speed) x (Max Desired WAN Usage%)
• Bandwidth limit calculator: Provided to help work out limit values for the general bandwidth limit and
the bandwidth limiting windows.
• Bandwidth limiting windows: Administrators can specify certain times when different bandwidth
limits may apply. Any bandwidth limit entered will overwrite the general bandwidth limit.
Prerequisites
Only an administrator can add bandwidth limiting windows.
