Managing Maintenance Windows
An administrator uses a maintenance window to perform administrative tasks on the Active System
Manager system without allowing users to log in during this time. This function can be ideal for critical
inventory or connectivity changes. Another benefit is that user sessions (scheduled during this interval) are
not impacted or terminated.
The goal of managing maintenance windows is to specify time when the Active System Manager system
is down for maintenance.
The following maintenance period rules apply:
• A normal user is unable to log in during the maintenance period.
• An administrator is allowed to perform all the activities in the Active System Manager during the
maintenance period.
• An administrator can update or cancel the maintenance window in the Confirmed and In-Progress state.
• At the start of maintenance period, a reminder is sent to the administrator.
• During the maintenance window, the Active System Manager RCP client displays an indication
depicting that the system is under maintenance.
• Administrator’s sessions are ignored while finding the impacted sessions.
Accessing the Maintenance Window
To access the Maintenance window, on the Active System Manager menu bar, click Tools > Maintenance
Window.
The Maintenance Window dialog box displays, listing all of the maintenance windows already defined.
