Pause a Merge Job on a Node

CA ARCserve Central Host-Based VM Backup lets you pause a merge job on a specific node.

For example, merge jobs can consume system resources and cause backup jobs to run slowly. Use the pause option to stop an in-progress merge job so that in-progress backup jobs can complete at their highest level of efficiency. After the backups complete, you can then resume the merge job.

Follow these steps:

1. From the CA ARCserve Central Host-Based VM Backup home page, click Node on the Navigation bar to open the Node screen.
2. Select the node group that contains the nodes with merge jobs you want paused.

   A list of nodes for the selected Node Group displays.

3. Click the nodes with merge jobs you want paused. Then right-click the selected nodes and click Pause Merge Job from the pop-up menu.

   Note: By default, the Pause Merge Job option is disabled. When the node is running a merge job, as indicated in the Job column, the Pause Merge Job option becomes enabled.

The merge job of the selected node is paused and can be verified on CA ARCserve D2D home page.
