Configuring the Scheduler

The scheduler allows you to define and set a timetable for maintenance activities such as the following:

Quality of service (QoS) policy changes
Data backup
Saving a configuration Jobs consist of a single command or multiple commands that define routine activities. Jobs can be scheduled one time or at periodic intervals. The scheduler defines a job and its timetable as follows:
Job—A routine task or tasks defined as a command list and completed according to a specified schedule.
Schedule—The timetable for completing a job. You can assign multiple jobs to a schedule. A schedule is defined as either periodic or one-time only:
- Periodic mode—A recurring interval that continues until you delete the job. You can configure the following types of intervals:
  - Daily—A job is completed once a day.
  - Weekly—A job is completed once a week.
  - Monthly—A job is completed once a month.
- Delta—A job begins at the specified start time and then at specified intervals (days:hours:minutes).
One-time mode—A job is completed only once at a specified time.

For more information, see the Cisco Nexus 9000 Series NX-OS System Management Configuration GuideYou can create a maintenance-mode profile with configuration commands that can be applied during graceful removal or graceful insertion.
