Deployment Wizard Step 6: Scheduling Jobs

Schedule sets the schedule for the deployment job. There are several options of when to run the deployment job: immediately, schedule the deployment job to run on a selected date and time, hold deployment job and manually start it.

To set up scheduling:

  1. Determine when to run a deployment job by entering a date and time:

    1. Click Schedule server(s) for deployment.

    2. Use the calendar control to select the date.

    3. Enter the time of day:

      • Immediately: Click Deploy server(s) now.
      • Postpone job: Click Create deployment job.
      • Put on hold: With this option, only the schedule can be modified and all other deployment job options cannot be changed.
  2. Enter a Job Name and Job Description.

  3. Click Finish.

  4. Now that the deployment wizard is complete, you can manage deployment jobs using the Job Queue.

  5. To display a list of non-compliant servers that must have a firmware update before the wizard can be completed, click Non-Compliant Servers.
