HCX WAN Optimization Schedule

gjbrown — Wed, 07 Jun 2023 17:02:31 GMT

In HCX is there any way to schedule the WAN Optimization Maximum Bandwidth, so during production hours the speed limit is set low and non-prod hours the speed limit is removed/set high?

thx

as I know there is no way but I have the following reference documents for you to check

There is no native way to do this in HCX without redeploying the WAN-OPT appliance.

Alternatively you could use rate limits on the IX vNIC, or use NIOC if using Bulk Migration (ensuring not to put the IX and the VM being migrated on the same host.
