Hi. 

 

Prism -> Data Protection -> Event

Groups of Async DR run backups only once every Dawn.
However, if check the event, I will see several messages per group.

If there is a ‘Search’ group, several messages are generated for the 'Search' snapshot in the event.
Each has a different time.(AM and PM).

 

How can you explain this process?

 

Thank you.

Hello,

From the look of the screenshot it appears PD Search is fired off locally @~23:00?

Then @~01:00 the next day, the PD Search is local again and then sent to remote site RFID-DR?

For the PD Search check what schedules are set…  Go to the Data Protection tab, click on the PD Search, then click on the Schedules tab at the top of the lower half of the screen.

Good luck...

Hello,

Thank you for your answer.


My question is...
For "Search," "PD" is performed on "Remote" and "Local" at 1 a.m. every day.
Other than the "Message" log that is created at 1 a.m., the log is also created at other times.

I want to hear an explanation about this.
Why this logs created at a different time than 1 a.m.

 

Other 'PD' also have logs that create in various time zones, such as 'Search'.

 

Thank you.

Hello,

Sorry for my lack of understanding. 

 

When you say “the log is also created at other times.”.  What other times?

If I am reading this right the time sequence appears to be:

10/21/20  11:15:42 - Snapshot xxx0526 Created for “Search”

10/21/20  11:18:16 - Snapshot xxx0542 Created for “Search”

10/22/20  1:00:02 - Snapshot xxx1789 Created for “Search”

10/22/20  1:00:02 - Replication of RFID-DR started to RS and PD

10/22/20  1:00:06 - Replication completed

 

As far as the different time zones…  Have you checked/changed your TZs to be consistent?  One of the things we noted was the PST TZ in PRISM Central.

Hi Hong,

Could you show us the schedules for the protection domain, please?
