About replication schedules

You use the Schedule panel on the Replication page in the HCP System Management Console to set the schedule for replication activity on a replication link. For an active/active link, this panel has two tabs on each system involved in the link — one labeled Local for the local system and one labeled Remote for the remote system.

For an active/passive link, you set the schedule only for the primary system. Therefore, on the primary system the Schedule panel has a tab labeled Local. On the replica, the Schedule panel has a tab labeled Remote.

Each Local and Remote schedule panel contains a grid in which the weekdays from Sunday through Saturday are each broken out into 24 hours. To set a schedule, you assign performance levels to time periods in the grid. The Console makes it easy for you to do this for the whole week, individual days, individual hours, or ranges of hours within a day.

In the schedule grid, the top of each time period with a given performance level displays the start and end times for that period (for example, 8 am to 6 pm). These times are in the time zone of the primary system.

The top of each time period also displays the performance level for that period. Additionally, each time period is color coded in the schedule grid to indicate the performance level so you can easily see which levels are assigned to which periods:

Low: (light green)

Medium: (green)

High: (dark green)

Custom: (blue)

Off: (gray)

While a schedule is overridden, the words Schedule Overridden appear on the schedule grid.

You cannot set a schedule to off for the entire week. Instead, to disable activity on a replication link for an extended period of time, suspend activity on the link. For information on suspending activity on a link, see Suspending and resuming activity on an individual link.
