Overview
Replication bandwidth can be consumed by several features. VMS features an automatic priority system that distributes replication bandwidth among the various types of replications streams. There are also some controls you can use to manually adjust priorities should you find that replication jobs are not meeting their RPOs.
Replication bandwidth can be consumed by the following features:
A protected path replication stream doing an initial sync.
A global snapshot being cloned on a remote peer.
A protected path replication stream transferring the delta between two snapshots. This type of job is expected to meet an RPO.
A request to fetch data or metadata from a remote cluster from a global snapshot clone.
VMS provides CLI commands for viewing the replication streams in progress and their current priorities, and for manually adjusting priority scores.
The VAST CLI requires a cluster admin user.
