The job is saved in the Schedule Manager. To check the status of a scheduled job,
see the next section.
Caution
If you set up a recurring job that creates and mounts a snapshot on the
same disk drive, you must free the disk drive after each job or the job will fail.
Checking on Scheduled Jobs
You can use Adaptec Storage Manager’s Schedule Manager to monitor and modify
the jobs you have scheduled. (To schedule a job, see page 67.)
Jobs are associated with Management Services. If you have multiple Management
Services on your IP SAN, the Schedule Manager displays the scheduled jobs
associated with each Management Service separately.
To check on scheduled jobs:
1
In the Enterprise View, select the Management Service.
2
In the
Configure
menu, select the Management Service you want, then select
Schedules
.
The Schedule Manager opens on the Schedules tab of a new window. The
Execution Result column shows the current condition of each job:
•
Success
—The job has been completed successfully.
•
Success*
—A recurring job has been completed once and will be repeated at
the scheduled time.
•
Warning
—The job has not been completed successfully. A recoverable error has
occurred, such as a job missing its start time.
•
Failure
—The job has not completed successfully. A non-recoverable error has
occurred.
The Schedule Manager displays all scheduled jobs in order of scheduled start
time, and includes basic information about each job. Although you can’t sort the
jobs in any other order, you can reorganize the columns in the Schedule Manager
by clicking and dragging the column heads.
Note
For more information about a Warning or Failure message, double-click the
job to open the Job Properties window.) You can undo a failed job—see page 111.
