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.
You can schedule a job to start now or at a pre-determined time in the future:

To start a job now

- Click the Execute Job button ( ) button before the job is scheduled.

To start a job at a pre-determined time in the future

- Schedule the job first. Then, click the

Execute Job

button ( ) button. The job is executed according to the time set on the

management server.

To view the latest information in Path Provisioning, click the Refresh button. The Refresh button

updates the following:

The Path Provisioning screen with changes made in Provisioning Manager. For example, assume

you used the wizards in Provisioning Manager to create a host security group. When you access

Path Provisioning, your changes are not shown.

The Path Provisioning screen with changes from executed jobs. After a job is executed in Path

Provisioning, the Path Provisioning screen is not updated until you click the Refresh button or

you exit and re-enter Path Provisioning.
