About Jobs
When you request an operation on one object, the management software processes that operation immediately. For example, if you select one volume to delete, the volume is deleted immediately. However, because operations on more than one object can affect performance, when you request an operation on several objects, the system creates a job that completes the operation while you make other selections. You can follow the progress of a job from the Job Summary page.
Each operation has a threshold number that indicates the number of objects that must be selected to cause a job to be created. The following operations create jobs when the number of objects you select meets or exceeds the operation's threshold number.
