Schedule device maintenance

You can schedule a maintenance for eligible devices in the MyRackspace portal.

maintenances at a desired date and time.

Schedule device maintenance

1. Log in to the MyRackspace Portal.

2. Click Services > Automated Maintenances to begin the scheduling process.

   

   The Automated Maintenance page appears. The Automated Maintenance page includes:

   • A list of all devices that require maintenance.
   • Filters on the left to refine the list of devices by status, data center location, and hardware type.
   • A search option to locate a specific device.

   The device panel expands and shows important information about the device, including:

   every step of the way.

   select Cancel or Reschedule.
