When you schedule healthchecks, only the healthchecks that are currently enabled are run.

1. On the Scheduler page, add or edit an event in the Healthchecks row (see Scheduler on page 265).
2. Specify when and how often the event reoccurs (see Scheduler on page 265).
Caution: For correct system operation, healthchecks must be run at regular intervals (at least once
a week).You can schedule healthchecks to occur daily or weekly but not monthly or yearly. Also,
recurrence is required.
3. Click Apply.
Scheduling Space Reclamation
During space reclamation, the DXi4700 deletes unneeded tags from the blockpool to free up disk space.
Schedule space reclamation regularly to make sure there is enough disk space to store data.
Caution: Because space reclamation can affect system performance, avoid running space
reclamation during known backup periods.
