   * Once this is done and the data is migrated, you will have a fully fledged HyperSwap cluster. Also make sure that all volumes are hyperswapped,​ as otherwise, the purpose of this topology is a bit lost. Hosts need to have access to both "​sites"​ and equal paths to both I/O groups, in order to operate properly, in case one of the systems undergoes maintenance or encounters an issue. ​   * Once this is done and the data is migrated, you will have a fully fledged HyperSwap cluster.

 +**relationship_bandwidth_limit**\\
 +Indicates the current relationship bandwidth limit setting. The relationship bandwidth limit controls the maximum rate at which any one remote-copy relationship can synchronize. The default value for the relationship bandwidth limit is 25 megabytes per second (MBps).

 +== To convert a standard volume to an hyperswap volume ==
 +
 +You can use the management GUI or the command-line interface to convert a basic volume to a HyperSwap® volume. You convert the basic volume by adding another copy of the volume in a second site.
