Parameter

Description

wednesday, thursday, friday, saturday,
sunday, and all. For example:
scheduleDay=wednesday.

startTime

Defines time of a day you want to create a snapshot
virtual disk and start performing a copy-on-write
operation. The format for entering the time is HH:MM,
where HH is the hour and MM is the minute past the hour.
Use a 24-hour clock. For example: startTime=14:27,
which corresponds to 2:27 PM.

scheduleInterval

Amount of time, in minutes that defines a minimum
between two copy-on-write operations. It is possible for
you to create a schedule in which you have overlapping
copy-on-write operations because of the duration of a
copy operation. You can ensure that copy-on-write
operations maintain a correct interval by using this option.
The maximum value for the scheduleInterval option
is 1440 minutes. For example:
scheduleInterval=180.

endDate

Specific date to stop creating a snapshot virtual disk and
end the copy-on-write operations. The format is
MM:DD:YY, where MM is the month, DD the day and YY
the year. For example: endDate=11:26:11.

noEndDate

Use this option to prevent a scheduled copy-on-write
operation from ending. If you later decide to end the copy-
on-write operations, you must re-enter the create
snapshotVirtualDisk command and specify an end
date.

timesPerDay

Number of times you want the snapshot schedule to run in
a day. For example, timesPerDay=4.

timeZone

Specifies the time zone to use for the scheduling
operations, using one of the following values:

GMT±HH:MM—The offset from Greenwich Mean

Time (GMT), in hours and minutes. For example,

GMT-06:00 must be used to specify Central

Standard Time (CST).

Text string—A standard time zone text

string, in quotation marks. For example, "USA/

Chicago" or "Germany/Berlin". Time zone text

strings are case sensitive. If an incorrect text

string is used, or no text string is specified, the

default time zone is GMT. For example, CST can

be specified in two different ways:

timeZone=GMT-06:00 or

timeZone="USA/Chicago.
