5.
Configure throttling.
a.
Configure the necessary Blackout windows and Bandwidth throttling settings unique to your
requirements. This example does not allow replication between 08:00 and 18:00 during
the week.
b.
Select Finish.
Note in this example the bandwidth is not limited so there is 100% utilization of the available
link.
Reporting
It is possible to view the replication status from both the source and target D2D devices.
Target Device Reporting
On the target device you can view the target replication library to see the "synchronization status"
of each virtual cartridge. For example, the screenshot below shows a D2D4000 target replication
library with three replication target libraries set up (Target-lib1, Target-lib2, Target-autoload). The top
part of the screen shows how many of the slots in the target libraries are already mapped to different
sources.
Imagine that you just performed a backup to the four cartridges in slots 1-4 on source library
192.168.0.43. As the cartridges are ejected from the drive, replication starts and reports
"synchronized" when the replication of a particular cartridge is complete.
By clicking on target lib 1, then on slot mapping 1 (for target lib 1) you can see the status of the four
cartridges configured for replication; two are already synchronized and two are in the processing of
replicating (replication synchronizing).
