Overview Creating a Connection Pool

Overview

Several factors can limit the transfer speed when transferring data between a source and a destination. Most cloud providers have rate limitations that reduce the transfer rate, but if those limits are account-based and the platform supports impersonation, DryvIQ can create a pool of accounts that issue commands in a round-robin format across all of the accounts connected to the pool.

Modifications to the connection pool will be applied on the next job run. For example, if a connection pool has two accounts, all commands will be alternated between them. If a third account is added to the pool, the next run of the job will use all three accounts.

"My Computer" and Network File Share (NFS) connections are not supported with connection pooling.

 

Connections using OAuth 2 authentication may experience bandwidth throttling when using connection pooling.

 

Creating a Connection Pool

  1. Expand the Manage section in the left menu. 
  2. Click Connections.
  3. Click Connection pools.
  4. Click Create connection pool.

  5. Type a name for the connection pool you are creating.
  6. Select the platform from the list.

  7. The modal displays a list of connections for that platform.
  8. Select the connections you want to add to the connection pool. A connection pool requires at least two connections.

  9. Click Done.
