You can obtain more information about a schedule job by selecting it. When you select a
scheduled job in the Provision Jobs pane, detailed information appears in the Job Console pane,
located in the lower-right corner. The Message Console tab, located also in the lower-right
corner, provides information such as if the job has ended or failed. If a job has failed, the reason
for the failure is provided on the Message Console tab.
Keep in mind the following:
• Jobs are executed according to the time set on the management server, since they are
centrally saved in the database for the management server.
• When the management server is determining which job to perform first, it looks first for jobs
requiring volume and/or zone creation. It does not perform the jobs in the order suggested
by the Provision Job ID nor according to the order of the jobs appearing in the Provision Jobs
table.
• The management server can detect when the required volume and/or zone has already
been created. For example, assume you created a job to create a volume. The next few jobs
use this volume. These jobs will determine if the volume has been created, before creating the
volume.
