When a scheduled OneFS job engine job fails, the job engine will not automatically retry the job. The cause for the failure should be investigated, and corrected, and then the job manually restarted. Once the job has subsequently succeeded OneFS resumes running the job according to schedule.
Jobs that are typically configured with a schedule, by default, are the following:
- FSAnalyze
- MediaScan
- ShadowStoreDelete
- ShadowStoreProtect
- SmartPools
- WormQueue
Jobs that do not run on demand, such as SnapshotDelete and FlexProtect/FlexProtectLin, are not subject to this limitation. They will retry automatically after a failure.
This behavior within the job engine is by design but may change in the future.
An administrator should find and correct the cause of failure and then restart the job manually.
