Set AutoSupport message collection schedule

04/25/2022 Contributors

The set storageArray autoSupport schedule command sets the daily and weekly times and days of the week that AutoSupport messages are sent.

Supported Arrays

This command applies to an individual E2800, E5700, EF600 or EF300 storage array. It does not operate on E2700 or E5600 storage arrays.

Roles

To execute this command on an E2800, E5700, EF600, or EF300 storage array, you must have the Storage Admin or Support Admin role.

Context

If AutoSupport is enabled, the management software sends both daily AutoSupport messages and weekly AutoSupport messages.
You can specify a range (hour-level granularity) of when to send daily and when to send weekly messages for the storage arrays in your management domain.
For the weekly schedule, you select preferred days of the week for AutoSupport collection and transmission.

Syntax

set storageArray autoSupport schedule dailyTime=startTime-endTime
 [dayOfWeek=(Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday)]
weeklyTime=startTime-endTime
