About VVR Bandwidth report
Data replication is an integral part of the Storage Foundation high availability
(SFHA) product suite that ensures the high availability and the disaster recovery
capabilities of the applications in your datacenter. VVR manages the data
replication in theSFHAenvironment. Veritas Operations Manager uses the Add-on
for Veritas Volume Replicator Bandwidth reporting to generate theVVRBandwidth
report that displays the details of replication data transfer.
The VVR Bandwidth report lets you know the details of the data transfer between
the source and the target hosts that occurs through a specific replication link
(rlink). The VVR Bandwidth report displays the size of the data that has been
transferred from the source to the target host. This information helps you calculate
the total cost of data replication between the source and the target hosts.
Also, the VVR Bandwidth report lets you view the details of multiple data
replications that occur through a specific rlink.
