Scheduling Enhanced FlashCopies
The enableSchedule parameter and the schedule parameter provide a way for you to schedule creating
Enhanced FlashCopy images for an Enhanced FlashCopy group. Using these parameters, you can
schedule Enhanced FlashCopies daily, weekly, or monthly (by day or by date). The enableSchedule
parameter turns on or turns off the ability to schedule Enhanced FlashCopies. When you enable
scheduling, you use the schedule parameter to define when you want the Enhanced FlashCopies to occur.
This list explains how to use the options for the schedule parameter:
v immediate – As soon as you enter the command, an Enhanced FlashCopy image is created, and a
copy-on-write operation begins.
v startDate – A specific date on which you want to create an Enhanced FlashCopy image and perform a
copy-on-write operation. The format for entering the date is MM:DD:YY. If you do not provide a start
date, the current date is used. An example of this option is startDate=06:27:11.
v scheduleDay - A day of the week on which you want to create an Enhanced FlashCopy image and
perform a copy-on-write operation. You can enter these values: monday, tuesday, wednesday,
thursday, friday, saturday and sunday. An example of this option is scheduleDay=wednesday.
v startTime – The time of a day that you want to create an Enhanced FlashCopy image and start
performing a copy-on-write operation. The format for entering the time is HH:MM, where HH is the
hour and MM is the minute past the hour. Use a 24-hour clock. For example, 2:00 in the afternoon is
14:00. An example of this option is startTime=14:27.
v scheduleInterval – An amount of time, in minutes, that you want to have as a minimum between
copy-on-write operations. You can possibly create a schedule in which you have overlapping
copy-on-write operations because of the duration a copy operation. You can ensure that you have time
between copy-on-write operations by using this option. The maximum value for the scheduleInterval
option is 1440 minutes. An example of this option is scheduleInterval=180.
