CLI Guide

set schedule
Description
Changes parameters for a specified schedule. If you want to change the schedule name, create a new
schedule to replace the existing one. You must specify at least one of the optional parameters for the
command to succeed.
You can schedule a replication task on the primary system only.
Virtual replication tasks are not queued: if a replication task is running and the time comes for that replication
task to start again, that task will be skipped, though it will be counted against the schedule’s count constraint
(if set).

[task-name task-name]
schedule-name
Parameters
[schedule-specification "specification"]
Optional. Defines when the task will first run, and optionally when it will recur and expire. You can use a
comma to separate optional conditions. Dates cannot be in the past. For times, if neither AM nor PM is
specified, a 24-hour clock is used.
• start yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm [AM|PM]
Specifies a date and a time in the future to be the first instance when the scheduled task will run, and to
be the starting point for any specified recurrence.
• [every # minutes|hours|days|weeks|months|years]
Specifies the interval at which the task will run.
For better performance when scheduling a TakeSnapshot task that will run under heavy I/O conditions or
on more than three volumes, the retention count and the schedule interval should be set to similar values.
For example if the retention count is 10, then the interval should be set to 10 minutes.
For a Replicate task, the minimum interval is 30 minutes.
• [between hh:mm [AM|PM] and hh:mm [AM|PM]]
Constrains the time range during which the task is permitted to run. Ensure that the start time is within
the specified time range.
• [only any|first|second|third|fourth|fifth|last|#st|#nd|#rd|#th day|
weekday|weekendday| Sunday|Monday|Tuesday|Wednesday|Thursday|Friday|
Saturday of year|month|January|February| March|April|May|June|July|
August|September|October|November|December]
Constrains the days or months when the task is permitted to run. Ensure that this constraint includes the
start date
• [count #]
Constrains the number of times the task is permitted to run
• [expires yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm [AM|PM]]
Specifies when the schedule expires, after which the task will no longer run
[task-name task-name]
Optional. The name of an existing task to run. A name that includes a space must be enclosed in double
quotes.
schedule-name
The name of the schedule to change. A name that includes a space must be enclosed in double quotes.
Examples
Change parameters, including the associated task, for schedule Sched1.
# set schedule schedule-specification "start 2015-01-01 00:01 every 1 days
expires 2015-12-31 00:01" task-name Task1 Sched1
