To set a schedule for the primary storage system,
from the primary storage system, enter the following command:snapvault snap sched volume_name snap_name schedule_spec
volume_name is the name of the volume on the primary storage system on which to create this set of Snapshot copies.
snap_name is the basename of a Snapshot set, for example, sv_nightly. The name of this Snapshot copy must be the same on the primary storage system and on the secondary storage system. The snap_name must not be “hourly,” “nightly,” or “weekly” to avoid conflict with snap sched Snapshot copies.
schedule_spec is made up of count[@day_list][@hour_list].
count is the number of
Snapshot copies to retain for this Snapshot set. A zero (0) in this field means no new instance of this
Snapshot copy will be created.
Attention: The combined total of
Snapshot copies retained for this and other Snapshot sets cannot exceed 251
Snapshot copies per volume. If it does, SnapVault will not create new
Snapshot copies.
@day_list is a comma-separated list that specifies the days on which a new Snapshot copy for this set is created. Valid entries are mon tue wed thu fri sat sun. They are not case-sensitive. You can specify a range using a dash (-), for example, mon-fri. The dash (-) by itself means no Snapshot copy will be created automatically. You can create the Snapshot copy manually. The default value is mon-sun.
@hour_list specifies the hours at which a new Snapshot copy is created for this set. Valid entries are whole numbers from 0 to 23. You can specify a range using a dash (-), or use a comma-separated list, for example, 7, 8-17, 19, 21, 23. The default is midnight (0).
