Multiple snapshot schedules for a FS in unity

Hi to all,

With support's help I got this to work as we had on the VNX. We just must do one schedule with multiple rules on the schedule. This is possible from the command line.

Here is an example for the next person who needs it

One schedule to do snapshot of FS: (gmt+2)

Every Monday, Friday, Thursday, Wednesday and Tuesday at 8:16 AM, retain for 7 days

and every Monday, Friday, Thursday, Wednesday and Tuesday at 4:16 PM, retain for 14 days

and every Tuesday, Friday, Thursday, Wednesday and Monday at 1:16 PM, retain for 7 days

uemcli -d [FQDN] -u Local/admin -p [password] /sys/task/rule create -schedName [name] -type weekdayslist -days "Mon,Tue,Wed,Thu,Fri" -at 14:16 -keepFor 14d

uemcli -d [FQDN] -u Local/admin -p [password] /sys/task/rule create -schedId [checktheID form 1st comand result set] -type weekdayslist -days "Mon,Tue,Wed,Thu,Fri" -at 11:16 -keepFor 7d

uemcli -d [FQDN] -u Local/admin -p [password] /sys/task/rule create -schedId [checktheID from 1st command result set] -type weekdayslist -days "Mon,Tue,Wed,Thu,Fri" -at 06:16 -keepFor 7d

uemcli uses gmt time

Then assign this schedule to the FS.

Easy to do, after you get the idea how it works.

Annoyingly if you use the hourlist rule, you can only have 2 hours in one rule. If you add more than two you'll get an error: Exceeded number of snapshots for the rule. Each rule may have a max of 2 snapshot hours ... (You can create more rules to compensate), but still.. only 2 snapshots per hourlist??? WHY?

Updated with correct time values.
