====== SMART Test Schedule ======

There are two types of SMART test that require schedules. We need to create a Long SMART test schedule and a Short SMART test schedule.

===== Long SMART Test Schedule =====

Click on "Tasks" in the left column, then "S.M.A.R.T. Tests".

Now click on “Add” button.

A screen will pop up.

Select the storage drives you want to test from the “Disks” drop-down.  Click individually on each disk you want to test.

Select the type of SMART test you want (in this case it is "Long Self-Test") from the “Type” drop down selection box.

Give the test a name, if desired, in the “Short description” text box.

Fester wants to schedule these tests to run on the 8<sup>th</sup>  and 22<sup>nd</sup>  of every month at 02:00 in the morning (the server should not be busy at that time).  To do this, under "Schedule the S.M.A.R.T. Test", select "Custom".  This will open a scheduling window.

Under Hours/Days, in Hours, enter **2**.  In Days, enter **8,22**.  You'll see that the calendar on the left updates to indicate the dates tests will run.  Click "Done" to close the scheduler, and "Save" to save this self-test schedule.

That’s the long test schedule set.

===== Short SMART Test Schedule =====

Click on "Tasks" in the left column, then "S.M.A.R.T. Tests".

That’s the short test schedule set.
