The “Send partially filled containers automatically” option can be managed via the command line using the scconfig command. Refer to scconfig . You can also use the Replication Group Configuration Wizard. Refer to Using the Assure UI portal to configure replication groups. Specifically, refer to the New Replication Group Container Options panel, and the field, Send partially filled containers automatically.
The Send partially filled containers automatically option enables you to control the frequency of shipping containers (LFCs) to the recovery server during low I/O periods.
The container is examined when the frequency to check value is reached. If at that time the minimum percent filled value has not been reached, the container will not be sent. When the container reaches the minimum percent filled value, containers will not be immediately sent. There is a 5 second delay before the containers are sent. The 5 second delay is provided to account for the possibility that the container could become completely full. When the container is sent, the frequency to check value is reset and the entire process starts again.
When changing either of the scconfig options (-a, -b), the command returns output displaying the values for both options. If the frequency to check value is changed to zero, the command output will also display “Send Partial Container Automatically is not active”.
