Hello TMasteen,

You need to validate the partnership bandwidth limit against the link being used.  For more context, please review the intersite link planning and partnership portions of the IBM Documentation.

The partnership bandwidth limit is the only value used for PBR/PBHA and it  is for all IO, including Background, whereas for old remote copy technologies you had 2 settings, one of which was for background. That is why if you are migrating, this is likely to be incorrect.

I hope that clarifies things.  If not, please let me know what is still unclear.

Hello Evelyn,

Thanks for your answer. But just to be sure, with PB replication and PB HA we can ignore the backgroundcopyrate parameter and can have any value?

Updates to the original document should now have this clarified!  Please have a look.

Hi

Ist there anything on the roadmap for

Volumes renaming within a PBHA ?

Volumes resizing within a PBHA ?

Host clusters within a PBHA setup ?

Thanks 

Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!
