Starting or stopping the Historic Bandwidth Data Collection

The Start and Stop Historic Data Collection option is available from the right-click menu of a Secondary RVG and is a toggle option.

Note:

In a multinode Primary cluster, if historic data collection is enabled on an RLINK and the storage group is moved to another node, then data that is collected on the old and the new node cannot be merged.

Historic bandwidth usage data for an RLINK can also be collected through the CLI using the vxrlink startstats and vxrlink stopstats command.

To start or stop the historic bandwidth data collection for an RLINK, you need to do the following:

To start and stop the Historic Data Collection
