Determining the current 'snapmirror throttle' value?

Reply to Author | View Threaded | Show Only this Message


Guys,

Does anyone know how to determine what the current setting of
'snapmirror throttle N destination' actually is?  I've tried looking
at the output of:

   snapmirror status -l
   snapmirror throttle

We're looking to dynamically throttle and un-throttle connections, and
it would be nice to confirm what the actual setting is without have to
guess and just set the value blindly.

We're running 7.2.6.1 and moving to 7.3.1.1 soon, or something newer.

Thanks,
John

I guess I wasn't quite clear enough in my request.  Let me backup a
bit and clarify.


- We're running multiple snapmirrors from filerA to filerB.  
- I have all my volumes configured with kbs=2000 in snapmirror.conf
- I need to dynamically limit the per-volume bandwidth, mostly to just
  unlimit the transfer rate for each volume at certain times of the day.

I can just do:

  snapmirror throttle 0 <volume>

without a problem.  But without looking at the log file
(/vol/root/etc/log/snapmirror)   I can't tell what the *current*
snapmirror throttle setting is as a check.

Some people have pointed out the 'options replication.throttle.enable'
option, but that's a system-wide setting, not a per-volume setting.

Though I admit it might be better to limit the system's max-bandwith,
instead of individual bandwidth settings.  Esp since I just want to
limit network impact during the production hours on weekdays.  So this
replication limit might work quite well for this.

So while it doesn't answer my question directly, it might just be the
answer I need.  

Thanks,
John

So based on that KB article doing the following from the command line should show what the throttle is set for:


NetApp:> rdfile /etc/snapmirror.conf

Re: Determining the current 'snapmirror throttle' value? That only works if the snapmirror was scheduled.  If it was started manually (or a scheduled snapmirror was aborted and restarted manually) I don’t know of any way to determine the speed.  On the other hand, the /etc/log/auditlog* contains the manually executed commands, and should go back at least 5 weeks, so the command should be in there.
