Pause and Resume Management of Devices Using a Scheduled Task
To pause or resume multiple devices or device groups at once, schedule a task to perform the operation on the group of devices sequentially.
The Pause/Resume Device Management task does not apply to blade chassis attached to managed devices, power strips attached to managed devices, and managed power strips.
When the task runs, it will be logged as successful if all device operations succeed. The task is logged as successful with exceptions if the task completes, but some device operations fail even after the allowed number of retries are attempted. The task is logged as failed if all device operations fail.
To bulk pause and resume devices using a scheduled task:
Choose Administration > Tasks. See Schedule a Task for details on creating a new task, and completing the Main, Recurrence, Retry, and Notification tabs.
Recurrence: The recurrence intervals are limited to hours and days.
Retry: CC-SG will only retry the operation on devices that fail to pause or resume.
In the Task Data tab, select Pause/Resume Device Management in the Task Operation field.
Select Pause Management or Resume Management. If you need to perform both tasks, schedule a task for each, and coordinate the timing between the 2 tasks.
In the Interval (seconds) field, select the number of seconds you want CC-SG to delay after completing one operation before starting the next operation.
Select the Skip Device if Restart Required checkbox if you want CC-SG to skip the pause or resume operation for any devices selected that would require a restart.
Select the devices to include in the task by selecting a device group from the Device Group drop-down list. Select the devices to include in the Available list, then use the arrow buttons to move the devices to the Selected list. Devices in the Selected list will be included in the pause or resume operation.
Any devices selected that would require a restart will be skipped when the task runs, if you have selected the Skip Device if Restart Required checkbox.
