13.4.6 Removing Scheduled Tasks 13.24
The purpose of this chapter is to explain how manage and schedule long-running system tasks.
13.1 Overview
Some InServ Storage Server operations with long running times can be managed as system
tasks and initiated at scheduled times. The larger your system, the longer some CLI command
operations take to complete. With the task manager you can pause, cancel, or remove tasks
running on the system. The System Scheduler allows you to create, modify, and remove
schedules for initiating tasks.
The group of CLI commands that can be managed with the task manager CLI commands is
different from the group of CLI commands that can be scheduled with the System Scheduler
commands. For example, the
tunevv command can be managed as a task but the tunevv
command cannot be scheduled with the System Scheduler commands.
■ See Table 13-1 for a complete list of the task manager commands.
■ See Table 13-2 for a complete list of the commands that can be managed with the task
manager commands.
■ See Table 13-3 for a complete list of the System Scheduler commands.
■ See Table 13-4 for a complete list of the commands that can be scheduled with the System
Scheduler commands.
13.2 Task Manager
With the task manager CLI commands you can display, cancel, or remove tasks running on the
system.
Tasks are created in one of two ways:
■ by a user or script issuing certain InForm CLI commands, such as the tunevv command.
■ by the system initiating certain automated or scheduled processes, such as the periodic
resynchronization of remote copy volumes groups.
