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

and

Creating a Replication 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.

Setting a Replication Schedule

To set a replication schedule from the Schedules page, complete the following:

NOTE: Replication schedules can only be set on individual replication-enabled source containers.

NOTE: The DR Series system software includes version checking that limits replication only between other DR

Series systems that run the same system software release version. If versions are incompatible, the administrator

will be notified by an event.

1.

Click Replication on the options bar, which displays the Replication Schedule page.
Another method to display the Replication Schedule page, click Schedules Replication Schedule.
