Configuring a TCP window size for SnapMirror relationships

You can configure a TCP window size for SnapMirror relationships between the 7-Mode volume and the ONTAP volume to improve the SnapMirror transfer throughput so that the replication operations are completed faster.

The window-size-for-tdp-mirror option is provided with the snapmirror policy command to configure the TCP window size for SnapMirror relationships between the 7-Mode and ONTAP volumes (TDP). Using this option, you can configure a higher/lower TCP window size. You must be aware of the following considerations when setting this option:

  • The window-size-for-tdp-mirror option can be configured only for policies of type async-mirror.

  • The window-size-for-tdp-mirror option can be configured in the range of 256 KB to 7 MB. Otherwise configuration fails.

  • The default value for the window-size-for-tdp-mirror option is 2 MB.

Note
 The window-size-for-tdp-mirror option is hidden and tab complete does not work. Make sure to type the full option to use it.

The following example displays how to configure a TCP window size of 5 MB for a SnapMirror relationship of type TDP:

Steps

  1. Create a SnapMirror policy of type async-mirror that has a TCP window size of 5 MB:

    snapmirror policy create

    cluster01::> snapmirror policy create -vserver vserverA –policy tdp_window_size_policy -window-size-for-tdp-mirror 5MB -type async-mirror

  2. Create a SnapMirror relationship of type TDP and apply the policy:

    snapmirror create

    cluster01::> snapmirror create -source-path filerA:volA -destination-path vserverA:volA -type TDP -policy tdp_window_size_policy

  3. View the configured window size in the SnapMirror policy:

    snapmirror policy show

    cluster01::> snapmirror policy show -vserver vserverA -policy tdp_window_size_policy -fields window-size-for-tdp-mirror
