Tasks

Edit online

Use this page to view running, failed, and completed tasks for a IBM® TS7700 grid or cluster.

This page displays information for an entire grid if the accessing cluster is part of a grid, or only for the accessing cluster if that cluster is a stand-alone machine.
Note: Tasks are displayed only for clusters that operate at microcode level 8.30.0.xx or later.
Information is displayed on the Tasks table for 30 days after the operation stops or the event or action becomes inactive.
Table 1. Information displayed on the Tasks table
Column name Description
Start Time The date and time the task started. Tasks are sorted on the table according to this value. Tasks still in progress occur at the top of the table and completed tasks are shown below.
Status The status of the task. If the task is in progress, a status bar displays its progress and duration. If the task is no longer in progress, the value is one of these final status categories:
  • Completed
  • Completed, with Information
  • Warning
  • Failed
Tasks that are in progress occur at the top of the table and are sorted according to Start Time.
Note: A stand-alone mount or demount can fail and return an ERA code and modifier. To determine what this ERA code means refer to the Error Recovery Action codes reference topic. ERA codes reference topic in the information center.
Task A short name that describes the task.
User The user name that initiated the task.
End Time The date and time the task ended.
Source The cluster where the event occurred.
ID The unique number that identifies the instance of the task. This number consists of:
  • A locally generated ID, for example: 923
  • The type of event, T (task)
An event ID based on the examples above would appear as 923T.
You can change the appearance of the Tasks table.
