1. If consistency groups are not balanced across vRPAs, create an SSH connection to the vRPA management IP address, and type the RecoverPoint admin username and password to log in to the Admin CLI. Then select System management CLI to open the Sysmgmt CLI. Alternatively, if you have created a user with the sysmgmt role, use that user to log in directly to the Sysmgmt CLI. Run the balance_load Sysmgmt CLI command and change consistency group assignments. For more information about load balancing, see the RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines Administrator’s Guide.
2. If the throughput required by a consistency group exceeds the availability on a single vRPA, review the vRPA profile to see if additional resources can be added to meet higher IOPS requirements.
3. Enabling deduplication when WAN compression is also enabled may overload the vRPA and consequently degrade replication performance.
   1. It is recommended to enable WAN and journal compression and disable deduplication.
   2. If the consistency group contains more than one VM, consider moving VMs to dedicated consistency groups and using group sets as needed.
   3. Review ESXi resources to ensure that there is no contention.
4. I/O throttling is initially enabled at 400 MBps. If needed, create an SSH connection to the vRPA management IP address, and type the RecoverPoint admin username and password to log in to the Admin CLI. Then select System management CLI to open the Sysmgmt CLI. Alternatively, if you have created a user with the sysmgmt role, use that user to log in directly to the Sysmgmt CLI. Run the config_io_throttling command to slow down production storage reads during full sweep process.
