Using the Job Manager
Use the Job Manager to monitor job progress during storage provisioning operations, such volume creation and snapshots of volume data.
You can use the Job Manager to:
The top panel displays a list of all jobs. The bottom panel displays job details, including the job's individual steps.
When you select a row in the jobs list, the job details are displayed in the lower panel.
An example
You use the Provisioning wizard to create a new volume. The Job Manager
displays the progress of the operation.
The first two steps complete successfully, but the job fails on step 3.
You use Undo job to roll back the job actions, such as logging out users, releasing locks,
and resetting logical device meta-data.
Job states
Jobs monitored by the Job Manager can have the following states:
- Running: The job is in progress and progressing normally.
- Attention: The job failed and is not progressing normally.
- Rolling back: The Job Manager is undoing a job.
- Cancelling: The job is aborting.
Depending on the state, you can quit, resume, or undo the job.
For example, you cannot quit (abort) a job if it is in the Attention state; you can only undo the job.
You can always view job properties.
