Sun Microsystems 5210 NAS manual Creating Immediate Checkpoints, To Create an Immediate Checkpoint

Creating Immediate Checkpoints

You can choose whether to schedule a checkpoint or create one immediately. See “Scheduling Checkpoints” on page 23 for information on setting up a regular checkpoint schedule.

In the Manage Checkpoints panel, you can create immediate checkpoints as well as rename and remove existing ones. Unlike scheduled checkpoints, which you create at a pre-determined day and time, you can create immediate checkpoints at any time.

To Create an Immediate Checkpoint

You can configure a checkpoint immediately instead of on a time schedule.

To create a new checkpoint manually:

1.To create a checkpoint, you must enable checkpoints for the file volume. If you have not already enabled checkpoints, do so:

a.In the navigation panel, select File Volume Operations > Edit Properties.

b.Click the Volume Name drop-down list and select the volume on which you want to enable checkpoints.

c.Be sure the Enable Checkpoints box is checked ( ). By default, this box is checked. If not, select the box and click Apply.

2.In the navigation panel, select File Volume Operations > Configure Checkpoints > Manage Checkpoints.
