For a selected task, you can use the popup menu options: Abort Task to cancel the task;
Pause Task to temporarily stop a task, Resume Task to continue the task; and Throttle
Task to throttle a task.
Task Throttling
Task Throttling causes an operation to pause for the allowed amount of time whenever a
disk I/O is performed, allowing the CPU and disks to perform other tasks.
Select the popup menu option Throttle Task to change the task priority. You can change
the priority for a single task, or select Throttle All Tasks to apply the priority to all
Volume Manager Tasks. Click Ok to complete your selection.
Clearing Finished Tasks
Tasks are persistent in the Tasks console. To remove completed tasks from the window,
select Clear All Finished Tasks from the popup menu.
Viewing Task Properties
To view task properties and the low-level commands used to perform a task, select the
task and choose Properties from the popup menu.
Command Log
The command log file (veacmdlog) contains a history of tasks performed in the current
session and previous sessions. It contains a description of each task, along with properties
such as the start/finish times and the low-level commands used to perform the task. For
failed tasks, the command log includes any relevant error messages. The command log
file resides, and can be viewed, at /var/adm/vx/veacmdlog.
