Explanation:
Okay, I understand. We need to configure a recurring exclusion window in the Unisphere for PowerMax simulator to exclude performance load during a weekly backup that occurs every Sunday from 8:00 AM to 9:
00 AM. This exclusion will prevent the backup load from affecting system-level compliance calculations.
Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do this, based on typical Unisphere functionality:
Steps:
1. Launch the Simulator and Navigate to the System Settings
* Open Unisphere for PowerMax in your web browser.
* Log in to the simulator (you should already be logged in with the array SID 1762 selected, based on the image).
* In the left-hand navigation pane, locate the settings or configuration section. The exact location might vary slightly, but it's often found under:
* Home>System Settings
* Settings(an icon representing settings, like a gear)
* Admin>System
* In this instance, click thegearicon on the top right corner of the Unisphere interface.
2. Find the Exclusion Window Settings
* Within the system settings, look for a section related to performance monitoring, metrics, or thresholds.
* Within this section, search for an option to configure "Exclusion Windows," "Scheduled Exclusions," or something similar. The exact name may vary.
3. Create a New Exclusion Window
* Click on a button or link to create a new exclusion window. This might be labeled:
* "Create"
* "Add"
* "+"(a plus icon)
* A new window or panel will appear, allowing you to configure the exclusion window settings.
4. Configure the Exclusion Window Settings
* Name (Optional):You can give the exclusion window a descriptive name, such as "Weekly Backup Exclusion."
* Type:Select"Recurring"or"Repeating"as the exclusion window type.
* Schedule:
* Day of the Week:Select"Sunday".
* Start Time:Set the start time to 08:00 (or 8:00 AM). Make sure the time is in 24-hour format or that you correctly select AM if using 12-hour format.
* End Time:Set the end time to 09:00 (or 9:00 AM).
* Scope/Target:Since we want this exclusion to apply at the system level, make sure the scope is set to
"System"or the entire array (SID 1762 in this case). You might not need to explicitly select this if system-level is the default.
* Components/Metrics:In some Unisphere versions, you can choose which components or metrics to exclude. In our case, we want to exclude the load for "all components." If there's anoption to select components, either choose "All" or leave it at the default (which likely includes all components).
5. Save the Exclusion Window
* After configuring all the settings, review them carefully to make sure they are correct.
* Click the button to save the exclusion window. This might be labeled:
* "Create"
* "Save"
* "OK"
* "Apply"
6. Verify Exclusion Window Creation (Optional)
* After the exclusion window is created, you can usually verify its settings in the exclusion window list.
* You should see the new exclusion window listed with the correct schedule (Sunday, 8:00 AM - 9:00 AM) and scope (system level).
