Setting up compression schedules
Arctera InfoScale Operations Manager lets you set up a compression schedule for the selected host. You can add, change, and delete a schedule.
The schedule applies to the directories that are selected for compression for each file system on the host.
To perform this task, your user group must be assigned the Admin role on the host or the Server perspective. The permission on the host may be explicitly assigned or inherited from a parent Organization.
To add a compression schedule
- In the Management Server console, go to the Server perspective and expand Manage in the left pane.
- Expand the Organization or Uncategorized Hosts to locate the host.
- Expand the host and select Volumes.
- Right-click the volume on which the file system is mounted and click Properties.
- Click the Compression tab.
- Click Add Schedule.
- In the Compression Schedule window, specify the compression options and click OK.
Frequency
Select Daily, Weekly, or Monthly.
When
The options in the When area change depending on the Frequency selection. For Weekly, you can select weekday to schedule Monday through Friday or select specific days of the week. For Monthly, you can schedule the compression to re-occur on a specific day of every month.
Compression Duration
Specify how long the compression process runs. If all directories are not compressed during the specified duration, at the next scheduled compression run, the process continues with the remaining directories.
For example, say that a duration of one hour is set and 10 directories are enabled for compression. After one hour, nine directories are compressed. The compression process stops. At the next scheduled run, the compression process continues with the tenth directory. The process then starts over with the first directory and compresses any new files that were added since the last run.
Default: four hours
Number of CPUs to use for compression
Specify how many CPUs to use for the scheduled compression run.
Default: 50 percent of the CPUs available for the host, up to 4 CPUs.
To change a compression schedule
- On the Compression tab, click Change Schedule.
- In the Compression Schedule window, update the compression options and click OK.
To delete a compression schedule
- On the Compression tab, click Delete Schedule.
