Managing tasks

This module describes how to manage tasks.

About tasks

When you perform any operation, P9000 Command View AE Software registers the operation as a
task. When a task is registered, P9000 Command View AE Software reserves any resources that the
task requires (such as, volumes, parity groups, pools, and host groups), and denies access to other
operations until the task either completes or is canceled.

If the server stops before a task starts, the task will run the next time the server starts. If the server stops
while a task is running, the task will fail. Scheduled tasks can be rescheduled after the server is
restarted.

You can check the progress or the results of all previously executed tasks on the Tasks & Alerts tab.

NOTE:

Information about previously run tasks is automatically deleted, starting with the oldest task, after the
number of tasks exceeds 100,000.
