8.10 Scheduling the Pair History Scan

The Dynamic File Services File System Inventory utility scans each pair on the server to collect file statistics for the pair history. History scans can be run hourly, daily, or weekly. By default, the history scan runs once daily at 4:00 a.m. The scans run until completion. You can configure the scan to run more or less often on a given pair by configuring the pair’s Pair History Scan.

To change the frequency and time of day for the Pair History Scan on a given pair:

  1. In the Management Console, connect to the server you want to manage.

  2. Select the pair, then select Actions > Properties to open the Pair Properties dialog box.

  3. Select the Pair History tab.

  4. Specify the frequency and the time to run.

    Hourly: The scan runs every hour on the hour.

    Daily: The scan runs once daily at the specified starting hour. Select a time between midnight and 11:00 p.m. The default is 4:00 a.m.

    Weekly: The scan runs once weekly on the specified day and starting hour. Select a time between midnight and 11:00 p.m. The default is Sunday at 4:00 a.m.
