Source sizing implementation for MySQL data sources

The source sizing feature aligns the data source experience with Delphix database standards that will improve your ingestion reporting experience on the per teraBytes pricing model. This feature enables you to calculate the dataset size based on the total allocated space on the mount point provided by the Delphix Engine for the dataset.

Procedure

For all datasets, the size of the dataset will be calculated using data usage (du) command that provides the correct volume and apparent size of the datasets.

CODE

du -sb <mount_point/data>

The two ingestion methods that exists with MySQL connector are:

Manual Backup Ingestion (or Staging push), and
Replication method (or Staging pull).

Source sizing implementation works well with datasources created with any of these ingestion methods. The calculated size shown on the UI is depicted in the screenshot below :
