Turning On or Off Use of a Task Schedule
Turning on the schedule for Rebuild/Migrate and Verify tasks forces rebuilds, migrates, and verifies to be performed only during the time specified by the schedule. If the schedule is not turned on, rebuilds, migration, initialization, and verify can happen whenever they are required or are manually started.
There may be times when you want to disable scheduled rebuild/migrate or verify tasks, so that you can rebuild, migrate, or verify a unit right away, without waiting for the next scheduled time. In this case, you can disable the schedule, as described below.
 
Note: When you first use 3DM, daily schedules exist with 24 hour duration—that is, the schedule is for “all the time.” Until you change these 24-hour daily schedule, enabling the schedule will not have any direct effect.
You can easily disable a current Verify or Rebuild/Migrate schedule without deleting the schedule itself.
To turn on or off use of the current Verify or Rebuild task schedule

Choose Management > Schedule from the menu bar.
The Scheduling page appears, showing the schedule for Rebuild/Migrate Tasks.

The illustration below shows this setting for the rebuild task schedule.
 
Note: Self-test schedules cannot be turned off in this way. To disable self-tests you must either remove all schedule times, or uncheck the tests listed in the Tasks column. For more information, see Selecting Self-tests to be Performed.
