Policy for Balancing CapacityCreating a Schedule12-28 CLI Storage-Management GuidebstnA6k(gbl)# schedule hourlybstnA6k(gbl-schedule[hourly])# every 1 hoursbstnA6k(gbl-schedule[hourly])# ...Setting the Duration (optional)The next step in creating a schedule is to set a duration. The duration is the amount oftime that a rule can run. The duration is applied every time the schedule fires: if youset a 5-minute duration for the schedule, each rule that uses the schedule has 5minutes to run every time it runs.At the end of the duration, a rule with this schedule stops any of its volume scansand/or migrations. If a client changes a file so that it should migrate according to therule, the policy engine caches the migration request. All migrations resume the nexttime the rule runs. On the other hand, the rule continues to direct new files anddirectories to their configured target shares; no migrations are necessary, so this is notcontrolled by the schedule or its duration.From gbl-schedule mode, use the duration command to set the duration:duration time-intervalwhere time-interval determines the duration of each scheduled event. Express thetime-interval in hh:mm:ss format; for example, duration 00:15:00 for 15minutes, or duration 06:00:00 for six hours.For example, the following command sequence configures the “hourly” schedule torun for 5 minutes each time it fires:bstnA6k(gbl)# schedule hourlybstnA6k(gbl-schedule[hourly])# duration 00:05:00bstnA6k(gbl-schedule[hourly])# ...Removing the DurationThe default is no limit on the duration of a rule execution. To remove the duration andreturn to this default, use no duration:no duration
