Instructions

AMS automatically enhances replication performance by splitting large files into segments and replicating them in parallel. This reduces replication time for large files within an MTree.

Important Considerations:

  • AMS may increase the number of replication streams and consume additional network bandwidth.
  • Administrators should verify:
    • The stream count configuration for each replication context
    • The total number of available streams on the destination system

To determine the stream limits for specific Data Domain models, refer to the DDOS release notes.
