Recovering from a Pool Capacity Failure If pool capacity becomes exhausted, all snapshots within that pool (and all the volumes on which the snapshots are based) go offline, and Adaptec Storage Manager generates a failure message. To recover, see "Recovering Snapshots After a Pool Capacity Failure" on page 154. Scheduling a Snapshot Job If a job is lengthy and limits access to your iSCSI Storage Appliance, you may want to set a date and time for the job to complete, instead of running the job while there is activity on your IP SAN. If a job must be performed regularly, you can schedule it to recur at preset times. At this time, on the iSCSI Storage branch of Adaptec Storage Manager, you can schedule snapshot jobs. To schedule a job: 1 Complete each step of the task until you are prompted to click Apply. (Don't click Apply.) 2 Click Schedule. The schedule window opens. 3 Set the date and time for the job. Note Keep geography in mind-If you are scheduling jobs on an iSCSI Storage Appliance located in another geographical area, remember that the time you set for a scheduled job is the Management Service's time, which may be different from local time or the iSCSI Storage Appliance's time. You will be prompted to select a new time if the one you've set occurs in the past on the Management Service. 4 If you want this job to occur regularly, set the frequency, and set the number of snapshots to retain at one time. Note When the maximum number of snapshots is reached, the oldest snapshot will be replaced by a new one. 5 Click Apply. The job is saved in the Schedule Manager. To check the status of a scheduled job, see the next section. Caution If you set up a recurring job that creates and mounts a snapshot on the same disk drive, you must free the disk drive after each job or the job will fail.
