Modifying deployment schedules

Use the Servers page to modify deployment schedules for Storage Resource agents.

Before you begin

To use the Modify Deployment Schedule action, you must have Administrator privileges.

About this task

Check the Agent state column on the Servers page to identify the agent deployments that you can modify. You can modify the deployment schedules for servers that have a status of Pending deployment.

The Modify Deployment Schedule action is available if you click a single server row or multiple server rows.

Procedure

  1. In the menu bar, go to Servers > Servers.
  2. Locate the servers with the agent deployments that you want to modify.
  3. Click a single or multiple servers with a status of Pending deployment, and then click Actions > Modify Deployment Schedule.
  4. On the Modify Deployment Schedule window, the current schedule values for the agent deployments are shown. You can change the date and time that agents are deployed.

    If you are modifying the deployment schedule for multiple agents, a time span is calculated during which the agents are deployed. The agents are deployed at regular intervals during the time span to avoid excessive load on the IBM Spectrum Control server.

    Tips:
    • If you select multiple servers and the servers have the same value for a field, the value is displayed. For example, if the selected servers have the same deployment date, the date is displayed. If the servers have different values for the field, the field is blank.
    • The scheduled time for an agent deployment is based on the time zone of the IBM Spectrum Control server, not the time zone of the server where the agent is deployed.
  5. Click Save.

Results

The deployment schedules are modified for the servers that have a status of Pending deployment. If you select servers that have a status other than Pending deployment, the changes to the deployment schedule are not applied to those servers.
