Use the Maintenance page (Settings icon > Database Settings > Maintenance) to change settings for weekly database maintenance. The maintenance task can be configured to start at any time during the week, to be coordinated with other maintenance activities performed by your organization.
Data collection is automatically suspended during maintenance. During this time, the NetMRI browser interface is also disabled, displaying only a status message indicating that maintenance is being performed.
When archiving completes at the end of each maintenance cycle, the NetMRI appliance reboots to restart all processes and then resumes data collection.
Note
Because NetMRI data collection and analysis is automatically disabled during archiving and also restarts the appliance after archiving completes, the archive process should be performed during off-hours whenever possible. Weekly maintenance can take several hours to complete, depending on the size of the database.
To configure weekly maintenance, do the following:
- Set Status to Enabled or Disabled. If set to Disabled, go to step 4.
- Select a Day of Week.
- Select an Hour to Start.
- In the Archive Database menu, do one of the following:
- To disable database archiving during weekly maintenance, choose Disabled.
- To enable database archiving during weekly maintenance, choose Enabled.
- Click Update.
