Creating a new window for a storage lifecycle policy operation

To create a new window for SLP operations

  1. In the Window tab of the storage operation dialog box, enable Create new.
  2. Select the Start Window tab.
  3. 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.

  4. 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 drop-down menus to select a Start day and an End day. Then select a Start time and an End time.

    • Use the drop-down menu to select a Start day and the Duration of the window for that day in hours and minutes. Adjust the Start time for your environment.

    To create multiple time windows:

    • First, create one window.

    • Click 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 click Delete.

  5. Use the buttons under the Start Window grid to do the following:

    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

    Click Clear.

    To erase the last action

    Click Undo.

  6. Click OK to save the window and the operation.
