Overview
The Confirm and Save EVM Job page appears when you are saving a new job. It summarizes your entries and provides job validation messages. When no validation errors are found, you can save the job. For help on entering valid job parameters, see Create EVM Job.
Resolving Validation Messages
When job validation messages appear, it means that EVM has detected one or more conditions that could prevent the job from running.
Read the message to see if it relates to an error or conflict in job entries or if it relates to a lack of resources on the StorageWorks subsystem.
When the message relates to job entries, you may have missing or mismatched job parameters. Use the browser to navigate back to the Create EVM Job page and correct the error or conflict.
For additional information, see EVM Job Planning.
Example - Mismatched Job Parameters
You received the message:
# OF SELECTED UNITS MUST MATCH # OF DRIVE LETTERS (mount points)
You review the number of units selected and compare it to the number of mount points. You see that three units will be replicated, however, only two mount points are specified to mount the three new BCV units.
You use the browser to navigate back to the Create New EVM Job page and add a third mount point. You then successfully validate the job and save it.
When the message relates to the availability of resources, you may be able to save the job later. When the job requires more resources than are typically available, consider redesigning the job or changing the StorageWorks configuration.
Example - Job Exceeds Current Resources
You received the message: RESOURCES UNAVAILABLE
You review your schedule and realize that a large backup job is in progress. You know that when the backup is completed an EVM undo-job will automatically return disks to the pool of available resources.
When the backup job is through, you create the EVM job. Because sufficient resources are available, the job is successfully validated and you save it.
Example - Job Exceeds Typical Resources
You received the message: RESOURCES UNAVAILABLE
You review the job and use EVM Storage View and other StorageWorks features to identify resources that are available. Your realize that the job requires more free disk space than is typically available.
Rather than create a single large job, you design two smaller EVM jobs that run sequentially. The first job can run to completion, then release its resources to the second job. Because sufficient resources are available when you create each job, they are successfully validated and saved.
