Issue

In SnapCenter 6.0 to 6.1, maintenance jobs cannot easily be rescheduled, even from Powershell.
The error, when using Set-SmSchedule, for example with "-TaskName SnapCenter_RefreshBackupSnapLock" from Powershell for is:
Requested Task cannot be processed,Mismatch in TaskName SnapCenter_RefreshBackupSnapLock

In 6.1 these are named as resource groups in the nsm_protection_group and nsm_scheduler tables as follows:

  • SnapCenterDataCollection (Daily at 15:37h/3:37pm)
  • SnapCenter_RemoveSecondaryBackup (Weekly, Sundays at 03:59am)=> separate bug CSNAPC-7871
  • SnapCenter_RefreshBackupSnapLock (Weekly, Sundays at 02:59am)
  • SnapCenter_ComputeStorageSavings (Daily at midnight)
  • SnapCenter_AlertCleanup (Daily at 23:59h/11:59pm)
  • SnapCenter_AuditDiskSpaceCheck (Daily at 23:59h/11:59pm)
  • SnapCenter_AuditIntegrityCheck (Weekly, Sundays at 4:59am)
  • SnapCenter_RefreshSyncSnapMirrorBackups (Weekly, Sundays at 00:59h)
  • SnapCenter_StaleJobCleanUp (Daily at 23:59h/11:59pm)

Before version 6.0, these were scheduled in the Task Scheduler of the Windows Host running SnapCenter Server, allowing to adjust the scheduling, usually from a weekly job to a daily job, specifically for the cleanup of SnapVault backups and the Snapshot locking mechanism.
