About The Schedules Page And Options; Setting A Replication Schedule - Dell PowerVault Storage Area Network Administrator's Manual

NOTE: If an OST client has four or more CPUs, it is considered to be dedupe-capable. However, the OST
client operating mode depends upon how it is configured in the DR Series system (Dedupe is the default
OST client mode). If the administrator did not configure an OST client to operate in a specific mode and it is
dedupe-capable, it will run in the Dedupe mode. If an OST client is not dedupe-capable (meaning the OST
client has less than four CPUs), and the administrator sets it to run in the Dedupe mode, it will only run in
the Passthrough mode. If an OST client is set to run in Auto mode, the OST client will run in the mode
setting determined by the media server. The following table shows the relationship between the configured
OST client mode types and the supported client mode based on client architecture type and corresponding
number of CPUs.

About the Schedules Page and Options

To display the Schedules page, click Dashboard → Schedules . This page displays any existing Replication or Cleaner
operations that have been set up for the DR Series system. If no times are listed, this indicates there are no scheduled
Replication or Cleaner operations. The Replication and Cleaner operations will automatically run whenever the DR
Series system detects a window of inactivity when there are no other major system operations running.
NOTE: Replication schedules can only be set on individual replication-enabled source containers.
The Schedules page lets you create a new schedule for running Replication or Cleaner operations, or you can modify an
existing schedule for either of these operations. For more information about scheduling Replication or Cleaner
operations, see Creating a Cleaner Schedule
NOTE: Cleaner operations are system processes that reclaim disk space from containers where files were deleted.
When no Cleaner schedule is set, the Cleaner process will run as needed.
The Schedules page displays the following:
• System Time Zone: using the following format (US/Pacific, Tue May 1 10:33:45 2012)
• Scheduled Replication operations: with day of the week (Sunday through Saturday), start time, and stop time
• Scheduled Cleaner operations: with day of the week (Sunday through Saturday), start time, and stop time
NOTE: Schedules only control the source container in scheduled Replication operations; the target container is
passive in these operations.
