You set the maximum transfer rate for scheduled SnapMirror transfers using the kbs option in the /etc/snapmirror.conf file. You can change the maximum transfer rate, but the changed transfer rate will only apply to the current transfer. The next scheduled transfer will use the maximum transfer rate that is specified in the /etc/snapmirror.conf file.
Considerations
If you change the maximum transfer rate while the current transfer is occurring, the new maximum transfer rate will take effect within two minutes.
Step
- To change the maximum transfer rate and apply it to the current transfer, enter the following command on either the source or destination storage system. snapmirror throttle n [system:] path
n is the new maximum transfer rate in kilobytes per second. A value of zero (0) disables throttling.
system is the destination storage system. Use this variable if you are executing the command on the source storage system.
path is the destination path. The path can be the /volume_name or /vol/volume_name/qtree_name.
