When using the Server Consolidation Utility to copy data from a compressed volume to an
uncompressed volume, ensure the destination server has enough space left in the volume to
accommodate the uncompressed data.
Decompression requires some disk space to decompress the file on the source and copy it.
Having a small amount of space left on the source system might result in a server abend or
unwanted behavior in the file system.
5.4 Scheduling a Consolidation Project to Run at
a Later Time
The Server Consolidation Utility lets you schedule projects to run at the most convenient time. This
means that you can create a consolidation project during the day and schedule it to run during the
night when there is a smaller chance that files that are to be moved will be open and being worked
on.
The Server Consolidation Utility uses the Scheduled Tasks capability built into Windows to
schedule a consolidation project to run at a time that is most convenient to you.
TIP:
Before scheduling a consolidation project, Novell recommends that you complete the
verification process and resolve all errors. When you have verified the project, resolved any errors,
and reached the Start Novell Server Consolidation Utility dialog box, then the project can be
scheduled.
