Configuring Jobs; Job Configuration Approaches - HP A7500 Series Configuration Manual

To do...
Schedule a reboot to occur at a
specific time and date
Schedule a reboot to occur after a
delay

In an IRF fabric, the command applies to all IRF member devices.
•
The system displays the alert "REBOOT IN ONE MINUTE" one minute before the reboot.
•
• For data security, if you are performing file operations at the reboot time, the system does not reboot.

Configuring jobs

You can schedule a job to automatically run a command or a set of commands without administrative
interference. The commands in a job are polled every minute. When the scheduled time for a command
is reached, the job automatically executes the command. If a confirmation is required while the
command is running, the system automatically inputs Y or Yes. If characters are required, the system
automatically inputs a default character string, or inputs an empty character string when there is no
default character string.

Job configuration approaches

You can configure jobs in a non-modular or modular approach. Use the non-modular approach for
one-time command execution and use non-modular approach for complex maintenance work.
