Snapvault Throttle speed

sypen0000 — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 07:28:12 GMT

Hi Guys,

Is there a global setting to set the snapvault outbound throttle speed? Or do I have to do a snapvault modify -k to all the vaults? if that is so

how does netapp persist these settings after a reboot?

Regards

replication.throttle.enable
Enables global network throttling of SnapMirror and SnapVault transfers. The default value for this options is off.

replication.throttle.incoming.max_kbs
This option specifies the maximum total bandwidth used by all the incoming (applied at destination) SnapMirror and SnapVault transfers, specified in kilobytes/sec. The default value for this option is unlimited, which means there is no limit on total bandwidth used. This option is valid only when the option replication.throttle.enable is on.

replication.throttle.outgoing.max_kbs
This option specifies the maximum total bandwidth used by all the outgoing (applied at source) SnapMirror and SnapVault transfers specified in kilobytes/sec. The default value for this option is unlimited, which means there is no limit on total bandwidth used. This option is valid only when the option replication.throttle.enable is on.

See the Manual: http://now.netapp.com/NOW/knowledge/docs/ontap/rel7311/html/ontap/cmdref/man1/na_options.1.htm

Kind Regards,

Have a look at this on the forums site.

We have the setting on our snapvault destination as we do not want to slow down the snap mirror traffic in production.

Works great.
