Add a Maintenance Period to a Maintenance Schedule

Add one or more maintenance periods per day to a maintenance schedule. After you add a maintenance period to a maintenance schedule, you are ready to assign the maintenance schedule to a server.

A maintenance period cannot cross the midnight boundary. For example, if you have a weekly maintenance period from 10 p.m. Saturday until 4 a.m. Sunday, you must create two maintenance periods:

• 10 p.m. to midnight Saturday
• Midnight to 4 a.m. Sunday

We recommend that you assign at least one maintenance period to a maintenance schedule. In the following example, the warning icon in the Periods column indicates that a maintenance period is not defined for the default maintenance schedule.

Follow these steps:

1. Click the Administration page.
2. Click Policies, Maintenance Schedules in the Show Me menu.

   The Maintenance Schedules list opens.

3. Click to edit a maintenance schedule.

   The Scheduled Periods list opens.

4. Click Add Period under the Show Me menu.

   Scheduled Period Properties opens.

5. Specify the schedule period settings and click OK.

   For information about specifying schedule period settings, click Help.
