Response Values

Response values for https://zvm_ip:port/v1/localsite.

Parameter Description
BandwidthThrottlingInMBs

The maximum allocated replication bandwidth for each VRA bandwidth group.

Note: When defined, this is the maximum bandwidth that Zerto uses from this site to all peer recovery sites.

Zerto throttles the bandwidth used so that on average, bandwidth usage from the protected site does not exceed the limit.

The response reflects the bandwidth throttling as defined for that point in time.

The bandwidth throttling is defined in the Site Settings window in the Throttling tab. The number represents megabits per second.

The bandwidth throttling values of the API are in megabytes per second. Therefore, the values are the results of the calculation X/8 MB, where X is the number of megabits stated in the Site Settings window, in the Throttling tab.

For example: Bandwidth throttling was defined as follows:

• From 14:00 to 16:00: unlimited
• For the rest of the day: 10 Mb/s.

The API is run at 18:00, and therefore the response will show 10/8 MB/s, or 1.25 MB/s.

A value of -1 means that the bandwidth throttling is unlimited.

ContactName The name of the contact person defined in the Zerto User Interface Site Information dialog.
