Dell PowerVault MD3260i - Manual (Page 293)

Parameter Description
copy-on-write operations because of the duration of a
copy operation. You can ensure that copy-on-write
operations maintain a correct interval by using this option.
The maximum value for the scheduleInterval option
is 1440 minutes. For example:
scheduleInterval=180.
endDate Specific date to stop creating a snapshot virtual disk and
end the copy-on-write operations. The format is
MM:DD:YY, where MM is the month, DD the day and YY
the year. For example: endDate=11:26:11.
noEndDate Use this option to prevent a scheduled copy-on-write
operation from ending. If you later decide to end the copy-
on-write operations, you must re-enter the create
snapshotVirtualDisk command and specify an end
date.
timesPerDay Number of times you want the snapshot schedule to run in
a day. For example, timesPerDay=4.
timeZone Specifies the time zone to use for the scheduling
operations, using one of the following values:
• GMT±HH:MM—The offset from Greenwich Mean
Time (GMT), in hours and minutes. For example,
GMT-06:00 must be used to specify Central
Standard Time (CST).
• Text string—A standard time zone text
string, in quotation marks. For example, "USA/
Chicago" or "Germany/Berlin". Time zone text
strings are case sensitive. If you enter an
incorrect text string, the default time zone is GMT.
Examples of code string for defining a schedule:
enableSchedule=true schedule startTime=14:27
enableSchedule=true schedule scheduleInterval=180
enableSchedule=true schedule timeZone=GMT-06:00
enableSchedule=true schedule timeZone="USA/Chicago"
NOTE: If you also use the scheduleInterval option, the firmware chooses between the timesPerDay
option and the scheduleInterval option by selecting the lowest value of the two options. The firmware
calculates an integer value for the scheduleInterval option by dividing 1440 by the scheduleInterval
option value that you set. For example, 1440/180 = 8. The firmware then compares the timesPerDay integer
value with the calculated scheduleInterval integer value and uses the smaller value.
NOTE: To remove a schedule, use the delete virtualDisk command with the schedule parameter. The
delete virtualDisk command with the schedule parameter deletes only the schedule, not the snapshot
virtual disk.
