Scheduling data placement profiles for Smart volumes
You can set weekly or monthly schedules for applying, releasing, and updating data placement
profiles.
TIP:
If multiple operation schedules are registered for a single logical group, the task list displays the
operation that will be executed first. For example, if a schedule to apply a profile is set followed by
a schedule to release the profile, then the application task is displayed until the profile is applied.
After the profile is applied, the task to release the profile is displayed.
