Creating a HyperCDP Schedule

Prerequisites

• The LUN or PG does not have a HyperCDP schedule.
• Features that conflict with HyperCDP are not configured on the source LUN or PG.
• The storage system is running properly, and the storage pool where the source LUN or PG resides has sufficient space.

Procedure

1. Choose Data Protection > Plans > HyperCDP > HyperCDP Schedules.
2. Click Create.

   The Create HyperCDP Schedule page is displayed.

3. Configure basic information about the HyperCDP schedule.

   Table 2-1 describes the parameters.

   Table 2-1 Basic HyperCDP schedule parameters

   Parameter	Description
   Name	Name of the HyperCDP schedule. NOTE: The name cannot be left blank and must be unique. The name contains letters, digits, underscores (_), periods (.), or hyphens (-). The name must contain 1 to 31 characters.
   Description	Description of the HyperCDP schedule. This parameter is optional. NOTE: The description can be left blank or contain up to 255 characters.

4. Select the desired PGs or LUNs.
   • In PGs, select the desired PGs from Available PGs and click to add them to Selected PGs.
   • In LUNs, select the desired LUNs from Available LUNs and click to add them to Selected LUNs.

5. Click Next.
6. Configure HyperCDP schedule policies as required.

   The storage system supports four configuration modes, which can be executed concurrently.

   • Fixed Period
     1. Set a fixed period to create HyperCDP objects.

        The default start time of the HyperCDP schedule is 1970-01-01 00:00:00 (standard computer time).

        • If you set the schedule by hour, the value ranges from 1 to 24.
        • If you set the schedule by minute, the value ranges from 1 to 1440.
        • If you set the schedule by second, HyperCDP objects will be created every 10 seconds by default.
     2. In Retention, set a retention policy for HyperCDP objects. You can set a retention period or the number of HyperCDP objects you want to retain.
        • Retain for

          Set a retention period for HyperCDP objects. The value must be an integral multiple of the execution interval.

        • Retained objects

          Set the number of retained HyperCDP objects. The value ranges from 1 to 60000.

          You do not need to set the two values simultaneously because once you set one value, the system automatically calculates the other value. For example, if you set a retention period for HyperCDP objects, the system automatically calculates the retained quantity.

   • Execute daily
     1. Set the point in time every day for the storage system to create HyperCDP objects. The value ranges from 00:00 to 23:59 at the local time zone.
     2. Set Retained Objects Per Member. The value ranges from 1 to 256.
   • Execute weekly
     1. Set the point in time and days in a week for the storage system to create HyperCDP objects. The value ranges from 00:00 Sunday to 23:59 Saturday at the local time zone.
     2. Set Retained Objects Per Member. The value ranges from 1 to 256.
   • Execute monthly
     1. Set the point in time and days in a month for the storage system to create HyperCDP objects. The value ranges from 00:00 Day 1 to 23:59 Day 31 (or last day) at the local time zone.
     2. Set Retained Objects Per Member. The value ranges from 1 to 256.
