9 Maintenance Workflows

A workflow is a CLI script that is uploaded to and managed by Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance by itself. Workflows can be parameterized and executed in a first-class fashion from either the browser interface or the command line interface. Workflows may also be optionally executed as alert or at a designated time. As such, workflows allow for the appliance to be extended in ways that capture specific policies and procedures, and can be used (for example) to formally encode best practices for a particular organization or application.
