FASPTARGETRATE
The FASPTARGETRATE option specifies the target rate for data transfer with Aspera® Fast Adaptive Secure Protocol (FASP®) technology. By specifying the target rate, you limit the bandwidth of each network connection that uses Aspera FASP technology. In this way, you can ensure that sufficient bandwidth is available for all network connections.
Parameters
- target_rate
- Specifies the maximum rate, in kilobits per second, for data transfer during a session. The default value is 250000. You can specify values in the range 100 - 100000000.
For example, if you issue the PROTECT STGPOOL command to run two parallel operations at the default target rate, the aggregated throughput does not exceed 500,000 kbps. If your file system can support two operations to protect storage pools at much higher rates than 500,000 kbps of aggregated throughput, and sufficient network bandwidth is available, you can increase the target rate.
To determine the appropriate target rate, consult your network administrator.
Examples
If the allotted network bandwidth is 150,000 kbps, you can set the target rate to 75,000 and use the default number of sessions (two) for the PROTECT STGPOOL command.fasptargetrate 75000
