You can enable and configure network bandwidth throttling for servers (including Backup Gateways) and server groups.
Note
-
When network bandwidth throttling is set at the server group level, the throttling is applied on a one-to-one basis between individual servers and/or Backup Gateways within the server group. For example, if you have network bandwidth throttling set to 1000 Kbps for two separate server groups that send data to each another, and there are three separate jobs than run between individual servers in those groups, then each job will be allowed to use up to 1000 Kbps of network bandwidth. If you want to throttle network bandwidth for entire server groups (for example, so that the three separate jobs as described above use a total of 1000 Kbps of network bandwidth), you need to first set up a network gateway between the server groups, and then set network bandwidth throttling on the network gateway towards both groups.
-
If you open additional ports, throttling will not work.
Procedure
Use the following steps to configure network bandwidth throttling at the server level. The steps are the same to configure throttling at the server group level.
-
From the navigation pane, go to Manage > Servers.
-
Select the server on which you want to configure network throttling.
-
On the Configuration tab, click the pencil button
next to the Network Throttling tile. A window appears.
-
For the Configure Throttle Rules for <Server>, select one of the following:
-
No throttle: Select this option to turn throttling off.
-
Throttle selective traffic: Select this option to customize throttle rules for specific remote servers. Enter the specific throttling rules, including the Send bandwidth and the Receive bandwidth in the fields that appear.
-
-
To add another throttle rule to the same set of remote servers, click the actions button and then select Add rule.
-
To update the list of remote servers and server groups, click the actions button and then select the Edit servers list.
-
To delete a throttle rule, click the actions button and then select Delete.
-
Use the pencil button or the X button to edit or delete throttle rules.
-
Click Save to save the throttling rules.
Note
Note: Configured throttle rules will be automatically applied to the server or server group.
