Schedule-CreatorX4.ps1

Continuing the X4 series which started with: SVM-CreatorX4.ps1

The next thing to do - before creating a volume which has 4 copies of the data (Production, Local Vault, DR of Production, DR of Vault) - we need to create some Cron schedules, a Snapshot policy, and SnapMirror policy (SnapVault) for the lab setup.

## INTRODUCTION ##

"

<<<<< Schedule-CreatorX4.ps1 >>>>>

This script creates using PowerShell, for the same four clusters, the following Cron Schedules, Snapshot and SnapMirror Policies (the Clustershell equivalent commands are presented). These will be used later when for VOL-CreatorX4 which will create 4 copies of the data with protection

1) Cron Schedules ::>

cron create -name 10min -minute 10,20,30,40,50

cron create -name 60min -hour 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23 -minute 00

cron create -name 24hrs -hour 0 -minute 00

cron create -name sm20min -minute 5,25,45

cron create -name sv60min -minute 15

cron create -name sm60min -minute 25

2) SnapShot Policy ::>

snapshot policy create  -policy 10x10min_46x60min_2x24hrs -enabled true -schedule1 10min -count1 10 -snapmirror-label1 10min -schedule2 60min -count2 46 -snapmirror-label2 60min -schedule3 24hrs -count3 2 -snapmirror-label3 24hrs

vserver modify -vserver {SVMNAME} -snapshot-policy 10x10min_46x60min_2x24hrs

3) SnapMirror Policy

snapmirror policy create -policy 92x60min_16x24hrs -vserver {CLUSTERNAME}

snapmirror policy add-rule -vserver {CLUSTERNAME} -policy 10x10min_92x60min_16x24hrs -snapmirror-label 60min -keep 92

snapmirror policy add-rule -vserver {CLUSTERNAME} -policy 10x10min_92x60min_16x24hrs -snapmirror-label 24hrs -keep 16
