Policy Management - Scheduled Actions

Use the scheduled action facility allows you to schedule scripts to run against selected computers and computer groups. The scheduled actions facility is script-based, allowing you to use any third-party tools for actions, such as archiving, back-up and recovery, or provisioning. You can schedule scripts to run:

• immediately
• once at a specified time and date
• repeatedly according to a schedule you specify

The scheduled actions facility should not be confused with the triggered action facility. The triggered action facility enables you to run scripts based upon conditions/alerts that are detected within your storage environment. The scheduled action facility enables you to run scripts according to the schedule that you define, without having to associate the script with an alert.

To create a new scheduled action:

1. Expand the Data Manager > Policy Management > Scheduled Actions node.
2. Right-click the Scripts node.
3. Select New Script from the pop-up menu. The content pane displays the Create Script window.
4. Define information about the script.
5. Click to save the scheduled action job.
