In some cases, subject to your security policies, consider changing the security credentials of the replication manager server (one change) to match those saved with the job events (potentially many changes). Running jobs Run a job. Whenever you run a job, HP recommends that you validate it. Validation helps prevent job failures by checking resource availability before the job begins executing commands. See jobs validation. Considerations • You can use the GUI or CLUI. • Jobs often interact with resources in the SAN. If those resources change, the jobs may not run properly. • Jobs that interact with the same resources can impact each other. One job can change resources in such a manner that another job is impacted. Procedures Running a job from the GUI 1.
