Cancel: Stops the job by sending a cancel command to the source. If you cancel a local-target job, you cannot
restart that job from the target cluster. The Cancel link appears only if the job is currently running.
Break: Breaks the association between the policy and its specified target directory by removing the associated
cookie from the source. Breaking this association causes the source to fully resynchronize the next time the job
runs. The Break link appears only if the job is not currently running.
If you want to reestablish the association between the source and target, you can do so by resetting or resolving
the policy through the web administration interface on the source cluster.
SyncIQ performance
You can customize SyncIQ performance settings by configuring network-performance and file-operation rules for
specific days and periods of time. You can also monitor performance and system operations by viewing system logs.
Network-performance settings control network traffic usage, and file-operation settings control CPU and drive usage.
View SyncIQ performance statistics
The Isilon IQ system captures performance data for all SyncIQ-generated network usage, and CPU and drive usage for
SyncIQ file operations. Any network or file-operation limits that you have configured are also represented in the
performance data.
1. On the File System menu, point to SyncIQ, and then click Performance.
The SyncIQ Performance page appears.
2. In the Network Performance or File Operations Performance area, specify the time period for which you want
to view performance statistics, and then click Show History.
For example, you might want to view five days' worth of network performance data ending on February 7, 2010, at
2:30 PM.
The SyncIQ network-usage statistics (measured in bytes per second) or file-operation statistics (measured in files
per second) for the specified time period appear in the graph.
View SyncIQ performance rules
You can review the current settings for any configured SyncIQ performance rules. Network rules control network usage,
and file-operation rules control CPU and drive usage.
1. On the File System menu, point to SyncIQ, and then click Performance.
The SyncIQ Performance page appears. The Network Rules and File Operation Rules tables at the bottom of the
page list all configured network and file-operation performance rules.
2. Review the rule settings. You can sort the table data by clicking the column headings.
