Scheduler
Caution: When adding multiple events of the same type, make sure the events do not overlap. If two
events of the same type overlap, the later event takes precedence over the earlier event.
Note: After a system reboot, all open-ended events (for example, replication) will restart at their next
scheduled time. Events with end times (for example, replication throttle) that are past their start time will
have their end action occur.
Scheduling a Share or Partition for Replication
Configure a replication schedule for a NAS share or VTL partition to automatically replicate the share or
partition data to the target system at regular intervals. Disable scheduled replication if you do not want to
automatically replicate the share or partition data to the target.
Note: Note: To schedule a share or partition for replication, you must first add one or more replication
targets (see Replication
deduplication enabled and at least one target selected (see
Note: Disabling replication for a share or partition, or deleting a share or partition, does not delete any
scheduled replication events for that share or partition. If you no longer want to schedule the share or
partition for replication, manually delete the schedule (see
To configure a replication schedule for a share or partition:
1. On the Scheduler page, add or edit an event in the NAS Replicationor VTL Replication row (see
Adding or Editing a Scheduled Event on page
2. In the Share or Partition drop-down box, select the share or partition to schedule for replication.
Only shares or partitions that are enabled for deduplication appear in the drop-down box.
Note: Scheduling a share or partition that has replication disabled will automatically enable
replication.
3. In the Target drop-down box, select the replication target you want to replicate the share or partition to.
4. Click OK.
5. (Optional) Specify when and how often the event reoccurs (see
Event on page 272).
6. Click Apply.
Scheduling Replication Throttling
During replication throttling, the DXi4700 limits the amount of source replication data it sends to not exceed
a specified maximum bandwidth. Schedule replication throttling to control the amount of network bandwidth
used by source replication at certain times. For example, you might configure replication throttling to occur
during planned backup times to avoid network contention.
