How to Schedule a series of Navisphere tasks
I would like to schedule some Navisphere tasks to occur in series, one starting when the previous completes.
- Synchronize consistency groups
- Synchronize clones of the remote mirrors of a synchronized consistency group.
- Administratively fracture synchronized clones
I need to know when each task completes as I need to integrate other non-Navisphere tasks such as shutting down or starting virtual machines, running Linux commands, and running SQL statements against an Oracle database.
Has anyone tried any of this? What works verses what doesn't for controlling job logic with Navisphere tasks? Does this require a third party tool like ActiveBatch Scheduler http://www.advsyscon.com/products/activebatch/job_scheduling.asp or something similar or is there a way to do it all in Navisphere itself?
Thank you in advance for any responce you may have.

Kevin,
Thank you for trying to help. I looked through your attached "EMC Navisphere Command Line Interface Reference R29" and question if it is the correct reference for synchronizing consistency groups and clones and fracturing clones. Does http://www.emc.com/microsites/clariion-support/ax100/pdf/069001181.pdf apply for what I need to do or is there a better reference that has the synchronize commands for clones and cons groups for the CX3-10c we are using?
I know that I need sync the consistency groups with something like:
naviseccli -h ss1_spa mirror -sync -syncgroup-name dbgroupI also need to be able to -syncclone & -fractureclone with something like:
snapview -syncclone -name name|-CloneGroupUid uid-cloneid id [-o]naviseccli -address ss1_spa snapview -fractureclone -name db3_clone -o
I saw that there are CloneGroups, but I don't know if I should try to create and use them or just deal with the clones one at a time like I currently do in Navisphere.
Can you straighten me out on the specifics? Is there a way to get these command line values from a log of when I manually run these tasks in Navisphere?
Thank you again in advance for any help you are willing to provide concerning this.

Hi Mike,
NOOOO!! Navispher is nothing but GUI, it does not control the work logic. You can use window scheduler or Cron in UX.

you can use navicli or navicli.jar becuase cx3 support java ,with an upgrade version you can user naviseccli. I would recommend you to verify by go to EMC installed directory to find out what is installing in there.
