Overview

Bandwidth throttling allows you to limit the upload or download bandwidth DryvIQ's migration jobs use. You can set throttling to take effect on certain days and at certain times. This is a global setting that affects all migration jobs. Jobs running when you set this parameter will not pick up the setting until the next job run. Clusters will pick up the parameter changes, and all new jobs will use the new settings.

Defining Bandwidth Throttling

1. Click Settings in the left menu.
2. Click Performance.
3. Verify the Bandwidth Throttling toggle is turned on. (The toggle should be green.)
4. Click Create next to Upload Throttle or Download Throttle, based on which throttle configuration you want to add. The corresponding Bandwidth Throttle modal appears. (Note that both modals contain the same settings.)
   
   
    
5. In Maximum Bandwidth, enter the maximum number of bytes you want to set per second. This sets the maximum speed outside of the configured timeframes. This field is optional. If you leave it blank, DryvIQ will use an unlimited value, uploading or downloading whatever it can.
6. Click Add another timeframe. Additional fields display.
7. Use the Timeframe list to select the days of the week the schedule applies. This is a multi-select list, so you can select as many days as you like.
   
   
    
8. Use the Starting and Ending fields to specify the start time and end time for the bandwidth throttling you want to set. Click the clock icon and use the clock tool to select the time.
   
   
    
9. In Bandwidth, enter the bytes per second value you want to set.
10. Click Add another timeframe and repeat steps 7-9 to create another schedule for a different time of day or a different set of days if needed. Continue to add additional timeframes as needed.
11. If you want the upload and download throttling to be the same, select the Apply configuration to both throttles box. This will copy the configuration to both settings, so you don’t have to enter it again.
    
    
     
12. Click Done to save the settings and close the modal.
13. The configuration(s) will be displayed on the Performance tab.

Editing a Timeframe

You must edit the upload and download configurations separately, even if you used the Apply configurations to both throttles option when creating the configurations.

1. Click Settings in the left menu.
2. Click Performance.
3. Click Edit next to the throttle configuration you want to edit.
4. Edit the fields as needed.
5. To remove an individual configuration, click Remove next to it.
6. Click Done to save the settings and close the modal.
7. The adjusted configuration(s) will display on the Performance tab for your reference.

Deleting a Configuration

1. Click Settings in the left menu.
2. Click Performance.
3. Click Delete next to the throttle configuration you want to remove.
   
   
    
4. The configuration is removed.

Disabling Bandwidth Throttling

If you disable bandwidth throttling, DryvIQ will retain any configuration settings added, so they can be applied again by enabling bandwidth throttling.

1. Click Settings in the left menu.
2. Click Performance.
3. Turn off the Bandwidth Throttling toggle. It will turn gray and display an x to indicate it’s been disabled.
