Increase VPG journal limit

Hello,

You can configure the Journal hard size limit on the Edit VPG>Replication tab>VM Settings.

Once you will raise the hard size limit and new checkpoints will be taken, that alert will clear.

Hi,

I’m not seeing that option. Don’t have VM settings in the replication tab. This is v7.

Hello David,

I wasn’t aware of the fact you are replicating to a public cloud.

on public clouds, the journal hard size limit is allocated due to usage and with a limit of 1048576 which equals 1TB.

I Will update that post in case I find any workaround to that limitation.

Hello David,

You can find the tweaks below to update the journal’s hard size limit.

The size is an example of 2TB.
