Defining Client Actions

To schedule an action on one or more clients for one-time processing, complete the following fields and then click Finish, or click Cancel to end the task.

Note: The schedule for a given client action is retained until the client action duration period is set. You must set the client action duration to ensure the schedule is cancelled.

Client Nodes

Enter the names of client nodes that will process the schedule associated with the action. This parameter is optional.

Note: If you explicitly specify a NAS node name, the command will fail. If you provide a pattern-matching expression for the node, any NAS nodes that match the pattern will be ignored.
