5.1.2 Monitoring replication space
From the Group Manager Replication panel, you can view delegated space statistics, including the amount
of configured delegated space, and the percent that is still available.
Note: If you have a replication schedule and you also create replicas on demand (click Create replica). All
replicas will be part of the replica set for the volume and will compete for its replica reserve.
Note: The maximum-keep value for a schedule affects only the number of replicas to be retained that
were created by the schedule. It does not include replicas created individually, or by another schedule.
For this reason, it is important to periodically check the space usage on the partner to make sure you are
not inadvertently using up the volume’s replica reserve with extra replicas.
