Resuming Management of a Device
You can resume CC-SG management of a paused device to bring it back
under CC-SG control.
To resume CC-SG's management of a paused device:
1. Click the Devices tab and select the paused device from the Devices
tree.
2. Choose Devices > Device Manager > Resume Management. The
device icon in the Device Tree will indicate the device's active state.
Pause and Resume Management of Devices Using a Scheduled Task
To pause or resume multiple devices or device groups at once, schedule
a task to perform the operation on the group of devices sequentially.
The Pause/Resume Device Management task does not apply to blade
chassis attached to managed devices, power strips attached to managed
devices, and managed power strips.
When the task runs, it will be logged as successful if all device
operations succeed. The task is logged as successful with exceptions if
the task completes, but some device operations fail even after the
allowed number of retries are attempted. The task is logged as failed if
all device operations fail.
To bulk pause and resume devices using a scheduled task:
1. Choose Administration > Tasks. See
Schedule a Task
(on page
280) for details on creating a new task, and completing the Main,
Recurrence, Retry, and Notification tabs.
Recurrence: The recurrence intervals are limited to hours and
days.
Retry: CC-SG will only retry the operation on devices that fail to
pause or resume.
2. In the Task Data tab, select Pause/Resume Device Management in
the Task Operation field.
3. Select Pause Management or Resume Management. If you need to
perform both tasks, schedule a task for each, and coordinate the
timing between the 2 tasks.
4. In the Interval (seconds) field, select the number of seconds you
want CC-SG to delay after completing one operation before starting
the next operation.
5. Select the Skip Device if Restart Required checkbox if you want
CC-SG to skip the pause or resume operation for any devices
selected that would require a restart.
