Recovering from a Pool Capacity Failure
If pool capacity becomes exhausted, all snapshots within that pool (and all the
volumes on which the snapshots are based) go offline, and Adaptec Storage
Manager generates a failure message.
To recover, see “Recovering Snapshots After a Pool Capacity Failure” on page 154.
Scheduling a Snapshot Job
If a job is lengthy and limits access to your iSCSI Storage Appliance, you may want
to set a date and time for the job to complete, instead of running the job while there
is activity on your IP SAN. If a job must be performed regularly, you can schedule it
to recur at preset times.
At this time, on the iSCSI Storage branch of Adaptec Storage Manager, you can
schedule snapshot jobs.
To schedule a job:
1 Complete each step of the task until you are prompted to click Apply. (Don’t click
Apply.)
2 Click Schedule.
The schedule window opens.
3 Set the date and time for the job.
Note Keep geography in mind—If you are scheduling jobs on an iSCSI Storage
Appliance located in another geographical area, remember that the time you set
for a scheduled job is the Management Service’s time, which may be different from
local time or the iSCSI Storage Appliance’s time. You will be prompted to select a
new time if the one you’ve set occurs in the past on the Management Service.
4 If you want this job to occur regularly, set the frequency, and set the number of
snapshots to retain at one time.
Note When the maximum number of snapshots is reached, the oldest snapshot
will be replaced by a new one.
5 Click Apply.
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.
