Starts a noninteractive IBM® Systems Director task on
a specified system. Noninteractive
tasks are tasks that do not require user input.
- Requirements
- This event action has the following requirements:
- The specified system must
have Common Agent installed.
- The specified task must be a noninteractive task.
- The task that you want to use must be available in
the IBM Systems Director Web
interface before you can specify the task for this action.
Important: Some tasks have hardware or software requirements
and cannot be performed on a given system. Give careful consideration
to an event automation plan that
uses this event action before associating it with a given system or
group.
- Result
- The task is started on the specified system.
- Example
- Consider an environment where you have two physical
systems and one of the physical system is running three virtual servers.
You can create an event automation plan that detects
a critical Predictive Failure Analysis® (PFA) event on a physical system. Using this
action, you can run a previously created noninteractive task that
migrates the running workload of the virtual servers hosted on the
affected physical server to the second physical server.
Note: You can
create noninteractive tasks using the Command Automation task.
