Create a schedule for certain operations to be performed on the
logical partition without operator assistance.
Scheduled operations are helpful for situations where automatic, delayed,
or repetitious processing of system operations is necessary. A scheduled operation
is started at a specified time, without operator assistance to perform the
operation. A schedule can be set for one operation or repeated many times.
For example, you could schedule an operation to remove resources from a
logical partition or move resources from one logical partition to another.
The Scheduled Operations task displays the following information for each
operation:
- The processor that is the object of the operation.
- The scheduled date
- The scheduled time
- The operation
- The number of remaining repetitions
From the Scheduled Operations window you can do the following:
- Schedule an operation to run at a later time
- Define operations to repeat at regular intervals
- Delete a previously scheduled operation
- View details for a currently scheduled operation
- View scheduled operations within a specified time range
- Sort scheduled operations by date, operation, or managed system
You can schedule an operation to occur once or you can schedule it to repeat.
You must provide the time and date that you want the operation to occur. If
the you want the operation to repeat, you will be asked to select the following:
- The day or days of the week that you want the operation to occur. (optional)
- The interval, or time between each occurrence. (required)
- The total number of repetitions. (required)
The operations that you can schedule for a logical partition include the
following:
- Activate on an LPAR
- Schedules an operation on a selected profile for activation of the selected
logical partition.
- Dynamic Reconfiguration
- Schedules an operation for adding, removing, or moving a resource (processors
or megabytes of memory).
- Operating System Shutdown (on a partition)
- Schedules a shutdown of the selected logical partition.
