EVM Jobs

The EVM New Job page allows the user to define a job that contains any number of

job operations in any sequence desired.

IMPORTANT: Simply creating a job does not imply that the job is valid or will run successfully.

EVM jobs are essentially scripts, written in the EVM macro language, that define all of the

operations in the job. If the operations are not specified in the correct order or if all of the

necessary parameters are not specified, the job will not work.

EVM Job Templates and Examples

The EVM job templates included on the EVM New Job page provide predefined

operational sequences for some common job types. These templates can be useful as

examples when creating your own jobs. Available EVM job templates are:

• Clone mount

• Clone suspend mount

• Simple clone

• Simple snapshot
