Adding a New Task Schedule Slot

When you add a rebuild/migrate or verify task schedule, you specify the day of the week, time, and duration for the task. For self-test schedules, you specify day and time, but not duration. (Duration is not required for self-tests.)

Depending on the schedule and system workload, background tasks may require more than one scheduled duration to complete.

To add a task schedule slot

Choose Management > Schedule from the menu bar.

The Scheduling Page appears, showing the schedule for Rebuild/Migrate Tasks.

To view Verify Tasks or Self-test Tasks, select it from the drop-down list at the top of the page.
Scroll to the section of the Scheduling page that shows the task you want to add.
In the fields at the bottom of the section, select the Day, Time, and Duration for the task.
Click the Add New Slot button.

The page refreshes and the new schedule is added to the list.

Note: The scheduled tasks can be added in any order. For example a new task scheduled for Tuesday (slot-2) will preempt the task originally scheduled for Wednesday (slot-1).
