Performing scheduled disk space reclamation operations are recommended as a method for recovering disk space from the system. The recommended method is to schedule a time when you can run the Cleaner on your QoreStor system with no other planned processes running.
Even if no Cleaner schedule is set, but the system detects that there is disk space that can be reclaimed, the Cleaner process runs. However, the Cleaner will not start until the following conditions are met:
To schedule cleaner operations on your system using the GUI:
The schedule lists a Start Time and End Time for each day of the week.
|
NOTE: Even if no Cleaner schedule is set, but the system detects that there is disk space that can be reclaimed, the Cleaner process runs. However, the Cleaner will not start until the following conditions are met: it detects that there are no active data ingests, that two minutes of system idle time have elapsed since the last data file ingest was completed, and that the Replication process is not running (the Cleaner process runs as a lower system priority operation than the Replication process). |
To schedule cleaner operations on your system using the CLI:
|
NOTE: The procedure below is a summary. Please refer to the QoreStor Command Line Reference Guide for detailed information on accessing the command line interface for your system as well as using the QoreStor commands. |
|
NOTE: Running the Cleaner while ingesting data reduces system performance. Ensure that you schedule the Cleaner to run when backup or replication is not in progress. |
schedule --add --day <Day of the Week> --start_time <HH:MM> --stop_time <HH:MM> --cleaner schedule --delete --day <Day of the Week> --cleaner
For full details on running the cleaner schedule commands, help is available by entering:
schedule --help
The current Cleaner Status is shown in the status pane at the top of the QoreStor UI as one of the three following states:
On the System Configuration page, you can also view graphs showing Cleaner runtime and bytes processed.
You may also use the schedule --show --cleaner command to view the cleaner status via the QoreStor command line interface.
To view additional detailed cleaner statistics, you can use the QoreStor CLI stats --cleaner command to show the following categories of statistics:
For more information about QoreStor CLI commands, see the QoreStor Command Line Reference Guide.
By default, replication of any newly written files in the replicated container will occur when QoreStor detects three (3) minutes of idle time. If you wish to constrain replication activities to a specific schedule, you can configure replication schedules on a weekly basis for individual replication-enabled source containers.
|
NOTE: It is recommended that you do not schedule the running of any Replication operations during the same time period when Cleaner or data ingest operations will be running. If you do not follow this recommendation, the time required to complete the system operations or system performance might be affected. |
To configure replication schedules, complete the following steps.
schedule --add --day <Day of the Week> --start_time <HH:MM> --stop_time <HH:MM> --name --replication schedule --delete --day <Day of the Week> --name --replication
For full details on running the cleaner schedule commands, help is available by entering:
schedule --help
You can view replication details and status on the Replications page in the QoreStor GUI by selecting a replication and clicking to expand and view details.
