Replication statistics

You can use the metrics that the system collects for policy-based replication to analyze performance issues. Statistics for policy-based replication help you troubleshoot and improve system performance.

Volume group statistics

Policy-based replication operates on volume groups rather than individual volumes. Therefore, most of the replication statistics are recorded against a volume group. The following statistics are logged for volume groups:

Table 1. Statistics collection for volume group
Statistic name Description
rarp Indicates the average recovery point in seconds for the volume group since the last time statistics were collected.
rnrw Indicates the cumulative number of replication writes to the target sent by this node for this volume group.
rnrb Indicates the cumulative number of blocks that this node has replicated for this volume group.
rwrp Indicates the worst recovery point in seconds for the volume group since the last time statistics were collected.

Node statistics

For node-level values, policy-based replication adds to the existing node XML statistics file.

Table 2. Statistics collection for node statistics
Statistic name Description
rjru Indicates the percentage of journal resources that are used for replicating data, averaged across all threads. Value out of 10000 representing a percentage to two decimal places.
rjrw Indicates the highest percentage of journal resources that are used across all threads. Value out of 10000 representing a percentage to two decimal places.

Volume statistics

Generally, all statistics regarding replication are reported on the volume groups but many existing tools focus on displaying statistics on the individual volumes.

Table 3. Statistics collection for volume statistics
Statistic name Description
varp Indicates the average recovery point in seconds for the volume group for this volume since the last time statistics were collected.
vwrp Indicates the worst recovery point in seconds for the volume group for this volume since the last time statistics were collected.
