You can use the schedgroup option with the server DEFINE
SCHEDULE command to create a group that contains multiple schedules. If you select
schedule group for an object, all of the schedules in that group are applied to the virtual machines
(VMs) that are in the object.
Procedure
To create a schedule group, run the DEFINE SCHEDULE command with the
schedgroup option as shown in the following examples. These examples group two
schedules for local backups, SCHED_A_1 and SCHED_A_2, and a schedule for a server backup, SCHED_A_3,
in to schedule group GROUP_A.

define schedule standard SCHED_A_3 Type=Client ACTion=Backup SUBACTion=VM
OPTions='-vmfulltype=vstor -vmbackuptype=fullvm -vmbackuplocation=local
-domain.vmfull="SCHEDULE-TAG" -asnodename=DC_SARTRE_WB -SCHEDGROUP=GROUP_A'
STARTDate=02/06/2017 STARTTime=18:00:00 SCHEDStyle=Enhanced DAYofweek=ANY

Tip: Ensure that each schedule in the group can complete before the next schedule is set
to start.

options, see Schedgroup and Vmbackuplocation.
Results
The new schedule group is shown with the associated schedules on the IBM Storage Protect
tab of theIBM Storage Protect vSphere Client plug-in.
