Advanced bandwidth throttling settings

The following table describes the advanced bandwidth throttling settings.

Table: Advanced Throttling Configuration settings

Property

Description

Read Bandwidth

Use this field to specify the percentage of total bandwidth that read operations can use. Specify a value between 0 and 100. If you enter an incorrect value, an error is generated.

If there is insufficient bandwidth to transmit the specified amount of data within a few minutes, restore or replication failures may occur due to timeouts.

Consider the total load of simultaneous jobs on multiple media servers when you calculate the required bandwidth.

Default value: 100

Possible values: 0 to 100

Write Bandwidth

Use this field to specify the percentage of total bandwidth that write operations can use. Specify a value between 0 and 100. If you enter an incorrect value, an error is generated.

If there is insufficient bandwidth to transmit the specified amount of data within a few minutes, backup failures may occur due to timeouts.

Consider the total load of simultaneous jobs on multiple media servers when you calculate the required bandwidth.

Default value: 100

Possible values: 0 to 100

Work time

Use this field to specify the time interval that is considered work time for the cloud connection.

Specify a start time and end time in 24-hour format. For example, 2:00 P.M. is 14:00.

Indicate how much bandwidth the cloud connection can use in the Allocated bandwidth field. This value determines how much of the available bandwidth is used for cloud operations in this time window. The value is expressed as a percentage or in kilobytes per second.

Off time

Use this field to specify the time interval that is considered off time for the cloud connection.

Specify a start time and end time in 24-hour format. For example, 2:00 P.M. is 14:00.

Indicate how much bandwidth the cloud connection can use in the Allocated bandwidth field. This value determines how much of the available bandwidth is used for cloud operations in this time window. The value is expressed as a percentage or in kilobytes per second.

Weekend

Specify the start and stop time for the weekend.

Indicate how much bandwidth the cloud connection can use in the Allocated bandwidth field. This value determines how much of the available bandwidth is used for cloud operations in this time window. The value is expressed as a percentage or in kilobytes per second.

Read Bandwidth (KB/s)

This field displays how much of the available bandwidth the cloud storage server transmits to a NetBackup media server during each restore job. The value is expressed in kilobytes per second.

Write Bandwidth (KB/s)

This field displays how much of the available bandwidth the NetBackup media server transmits to the cloud storage server during backup jobs. The value is expressed in kilobytes per second.
