5.9 Scheduling Scans

  1. Select Scans > Scan Policies.

  2. Click the check box that pertains to the scan policy for which you want to create a schedule.

  3. Click Edit Schedule.

    Engine Local Time: Specify the time that you want the scan to begin.

    The time you select is based on the time zone where the Engine is located and not the Agent that conducts the scan.

    Engine Local Start Date: Specify the date when you want the scan schedule to take effect.

    Be aware that entering a date does not mean that the scan takes place on that date. If the Engine Local Start Date is set for today, which is a Monday, but the Schedule Recurrence setting is set for Weekly on Sunday, the scan does not take place until Sunday.

    Once: Select this option to scan the storage resources specified in the scan policy only once.

    Daily: Select this option for a daily scan of the storage resources specified in the scan policy.

    Weekly: Select this option and specify a weekday for a weekly scan of the storage resources specified in the scan policy.
