Deployment Wizard Step 6: Scheduling Jobs

a. Click Schedule server(s) for deployment.
b. Use the calendar control to select the date.
c. Enter the time of day:

• Postpone job: Click Create deployment job.
• Put on hold: With this option, only the schedule can be modied and all other deployment job options cannot be
changed.
2. Enter a Job Name and Job Description.
3. Click Finish.
4. Now that the deployment wizard is complete, you can manage deployment jobs using the Job Queue.

Understanding Job Queue
The Job Queue manages server deployment and inventory retrieval jobs, such as:
• Displaying the submitted server deployment jobs.
• Refreshing the Deployment Jobs or Inventory/Warranty History queues.
• Scheduling an inventory job to update the Dell server attributes found in the current vCenter.
• Purging the deployment job queue entries.
• Managing rmware updates for clusters and databases.
NOTE: To make sure the inventory/warranty contains up-to-date information, schedule the inventory/warranty job to run
a minimum of once a week. The inventory/warranty job consumes minimal resources and does not degrade host
performance.
