Configure network throttling

Configure network throttling to control the flow of traffic over the network.

About this task

Network throttling is configured separately for each protection domain. The SDS nodes transfer data between themselves. This data consists of user data being replicated as part of the RAID protection, and data copied for internal rebalancing and recovery from failures. You can modify the balance between these types of data loads by limiting the data copy bandwidth. This change affects all SDSs in the specified protection domain.

NOTE: These features affect system performance, and should only be configured by an advanced user. Contact Dell Technologies Support before you change this configuration.

Steps

  1. On the menu bar, click Block > Protection Domains.
  2. In the list of protection domains, select the relevant protection domain check box, and click Modify > Network Throttling.
  3. In the Set Network Throttling for PD dialog box, enter the bandwidth for the following settings, or select Unlimited to allow for unlimited throughput for that setting:
    • Rebalance throughput limit per SDS
    • Rebuild throughput limit per SDS
    • vTree migration throughput limit per SDS
    • Overall throughput limit per SDS
  4. Click Apply.
  5. Verify that the operation has finished successfully, and click Dismiss.
