Edit a replication policy

To modify the replication settings of the replication policies assigned to

 you can edit any existing replication policy.
  • Verify that
    VMware Cloud Director Availability
     4.5 or later is deployed in the cloud site for finer control over the allowed destination of the migration, restraining tenants from migrating to on-premises or to other cloud sites.

     window, modify the following replication policy settings and click
    Apply
    .
    Policy name
    Edit the policy name, entering a unique, case-sensitive name.
    Incoming migrations
    To allow incoming migrations, activate the toggle.
    Outgoing migrations to cloud
    To allow outgoing migrations, where the destination is a cloud site, activate the toggle.
    Outgoing migrations to On-Premises
    To allow outgoing migrations, where the destination site is on-premises, activate the toggle.
    Incoming protections
    To allow incoming protections, activate the toggle.
    Outgoing protections
    To allow outgoing protections, activate the toggle.
    Custom SLA settings
    To allow custom SLA settings per replication, activate the toggle. Alternatively, to allow only the SLA profiles to set the SLA settings, deactivate the toggle.
    Allow advanced retention rules
    If incoming protections are activated, to allow advanced retention rules for protections for configuring the number of rotated instances and their time distance spread apart, activate the toggle.
    Max rotated instances per protection
    If incoming protections are activated, enter the maximum number of rotated instances per protection, up to 24.
    Max stored instances per protection
    If incoming protections are activated, enter the maximum number of stored instances per protection, up to 24.
    Minimum allowed RPO
    If incoming protections are activated, set the minimum allowed RPO by using the
    Recovery Point Objective (RPO)
     slider or by clicking the time ranges.
    For shorter RPO, follow the recommendations for lowering the occurrence of RPO violations for the protection, by using all-flash storage and see Replicating workloads.
    With short RPO, even when meeting these recommendations, an I/O intensive protected workload can still cause RPO violations.
    Allow organizations to modify Events and Notifications settings
    To allow tenants control of the event notification, activate the toggle.
    Limit the number of configured replications
    If incoming migrations or incoming protections or both are activated, enter the maximum number of replications.
    Bandwidth throttling
    To allow bandwidth throttling, activate the toggle then enter the maximum throughput per each
    On-Premises to Cloud Director Replication Appliance
    . After you modify the value, the new value takes effect after 30 minutes.
You reconfigured the replication policy and all new replications that belong to organizations assigned with this policy must comply with the new replication policy settings.
If there are conflicts between the edited replication policy and the existing replications, you must resolve the conflicts. For more information, see Replication policy conflicts.
