Create a new window for a storage lifecycle policy operation

To create a new window for an SLP operation

  1. In the Window tab for an operation, select Create new.
  2. Specify the Window name.
  3. Select the Start window tab.
  4. The days of the week appear along the left side of the grid. The time of day appears along the top of the grid in 24-hour time.

    To change the increments available for selecting start times or end times, change the value in the Resolution field.

  5. Indicate the opening and closing times of the window for each day. The following lists several methods to do so:
    • Drag the cursor along the Start window grid on each day you want the window to open and close.

    • Use the dropdown menus to select a Start day and an End day. Then select a Start time and an End time.

    • Use the dropdown menu to select a Start day and the Duration days of the window. Adjust the Start time for your environment.

    To create multiple time windows:

    • First, create one window.

    • Select Duplicate.

      The window is duplicated to any days without existing schedules. Duplication stops when it reaches a day that already contains a window.

    • On days that you do not want the time window to be open, select the window and select Delete.

  6. You can perform the following actions:

    To change the start time or end time

    Adjust the Start time or End time.

    To delete a time window

    Select a time window and click Delete.

    To delete all the time windows
