Create Schedule dialog box

The Create Schedule dialog box enables you to create a basic or advanced protection schedule for SnapMirror and SnapVault relationship transfers. You might create a new schedule to increase the frequency of data transfers due to frequent data updates, or you might create a less frequent schedule when data changes infrequently.

Schedules cannot be configured for SnapMirror Synchronous relationships.

Destination Cluster
The name of the cluster you selected in the SnapVault tab or SnapMirror tab of the Configure Protection dialog box.
Schedule Name
The name you provide for the schedule. Schedule names can consist of the characters A through Z, a through z, 0 through 9, as well as any of the following special characters: ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) _ -. Schedule names may not include the following characters: < >.
Basic or Advanced
The schedule mode you want to use.
Basic mode includes the following elements:
  • Repeat

  • Day

    When a repeat of weekly is selected, the day of the week a transfer occurs.

Advanced mode includes the following elements:

    A comma-separated numerical list representing the months of the year. Valid values are 0 through 11, with zero representing January, and so on. This element is optional. Leaving the field blank implies that transfers occur every month.

  • Days

    A comma-separated numerical list representing the day of the month. Valid values are 1 through 31. This element is optional. Leaving the field blank implies that a transfer occurs every day of the month.
