I'm trying to schedule an inventory but can't get it scheduled...

My setup; Windows 2008 SP2 x64, local SQL 2005 database (default), HP 
Ultrium-3 LTO tape unit (stand-alone).

I use the DPM Management Shell to schedule the job with this command;

Set-MaintenanceJobStartTime -DPMServerName <dpmservername> -MaintenanceJob 
LibraryInventory -StartTime 17:00

I receive no error on this command, but a Get-MaintenanceJobStartTime gives 
the following result;

Get-MaintenanceJobStartTime : No schedules found for the job definition. 
(ID: 951)

Any advise is much appreciated!

Hi,

Please ensure that the library is known to DPM before setting the job time. 
Is the rescan operation successful and does DPM see the library as expected?

Also, Get-MaintenanceJobStartTime also takes DPMServerName and 
MaintenanceJob as parameters.

Thanks,

Hi Pranay,

Thank you for you response.

My protection groups are working, that is not the problem. The backup to 
tape job starts at 0:00 every day, so the (job related) inventory start at 
this time. For me this is to late to know if the correct tape is inserted. So 
I want to schedule a inventory at 17:00 hours, to see if the correct tape is 
inserted (at the remote location) in the tape unit.

What do you mean with the rescan? Do I need to run a rescan within the 
management shell, before I van schedule a maintenance job?

Your comment "Also, Get-MaintenanceJobStartTime also takes DPMServerName and 
MaintenanceJob as parameters.", I do not understand, sorry. As I noted in my 
first post, I use this command;

Set-MaintenanceJobStartTime -DPMServerName <dpmservername> -MaintenanceJob 
LibraryInventory -StartTime 17:00

The only difference in the actual command is the dpmservername value, which 
is my DPM server name ;-).

Thank you.

Hi,

What I meant was that Get-MaintenanceJobStartTime takes dpmservername and 
maintenancejob as 2 parameters.
 I would request you to:
1) check out the SQL Job Activity Monitor and see if any job has been 
scheduled to run everyday at 1700.
2) if there is a schedule, trigger it and see if the inventory job starts if 
you manually trigger it.
3) open up the DPM Admin Console at 17:00 and check if the scheduled job is 
triggered by DPM.

 If
    1)there is no schedule for 1700 and/or if the job does not get triggered
    2)there is a schedule for 1700 and/or the commandlet 
Get-MaintenanceJobStartTime does not work as expected
 please open a support case.

Thanks,
