VxVM logs all task requests. You can view the task history
(including tasks in progress) using the Task History window, or
the “Command
Log ” file.
The Task History window displays a history of tasks performed
in the current session (and any other sessions running on the machine).
Each task is listed with properties such as the task name, the task
status, and the start/finish times.
To display the Task History window, click on Tasks at the bottom of the main window.
For a selected task, you can use the popup menu options: Abort Task to cancel the task; Pause Task to temporarily stop a task, Resume Task to continue the task; and Throttle Task to throttle a task.
Task
Throttling |
 |
Task Throttling causes an operation to pause for the allowed
amount of time whenever a disk I/O is performed, allowing the CPU
to perform other tasks.
Select the popup menu option Throttle Task to change the task priority. You can change the priority
for a single task, or select Throttle All Tasks to apply the priority to all Volume Manager Tasks.
Click Ok to complete your selection.
Clearing
Finished Tasks |
 |
Tasks are persistent in the Tasks console. To remove completed
tasks from the window, select Clear All Finished Tasks from the popup menu.
Viewing
Task Properties |
 |
To view task properties and the low-level commands used to
perform a task, select the task and choose Properties from the popup menu. You can also access task properties
by double-clicking on the task.
