AirGap Jobs for AirGap for Dell

Introduction​

AirGap Jobs manages and schedules SyncIQ replication policies with enhanced security controls. This guide shows you how to create AirGap policies on your Production Cluster and configure job parameters including frequency and ransomware response settings.

Create AirGap Policies​

You must create SyncIQ replication policies for AirGap on your Production Cluster. Name these policies with the prefix rw-airgap- so Eyeglass recognizes them as AirGap Policies.

Restrict AirGap policies to run only on your Dedicated Vault Pool.

After each Configuration Replication job, Eyeglass adds new AirGap policies from your Production Cluster. You can find all AirGap policies under the AirGap dropdown in the Jobs Window.

Schedule AirGap Jobs​

Legacy UI

The steps below describe the legacy AirGap Module. In the 2.15.0 GUI, scheduling is done from the Config tab's row-level Set Schedule action (see Config) — the same underlying change as the CLI equivalent, igls airgap schedule set --job <name> --cronstr '<cron>'. Whether the Pause data replication when active ransomware events detected and Managed by Vault Agent checkboxes below have a confirmed location on the 2.15.0 Config tab hasn't been verified — that tab's documented controls are limited to Schedule, Active, Set Schedule, and Migrate.

  1. Open AirGap Module
    Access the AirGap Module in the Eyeglass Web UI from the desktop icon or the bottom left Main Menu.

  2. Select Policy
    Find the policy you want to schedule. Click the policy to open Job Settings.

  3. Configure Job Parameters
    In Job Settings, configure your Replication Job Parameters. Set the job frequency using Schedule. You can enable or disable these options:

    • Pause data replication when active ransomware events detected: When enabled, AirGap stops running if Ransomware Defender detects an active event (excluding routine test events).
    • Managed by Vault Agent: Enable this option for Vault Agent to manage the AirGap policy. When disabled, the policy becomes Basic AirGap.
    note

    Basic AirGap here is a policy state (Vault Agent not managing the policy), not the retired Airgap Basic product edition (deprecated August 1, 2022). It's the same Virtual AirGap (outside-the-vault) functionality described in Licensing — see that section if you're unsure which mode a given policy needs.

    info

    Job Settings shows "Target Cluster Credentials." Leave these empty for Enterprise AirGap configurations.

Run AirGap Jobs Manually​

Run an AirGap job manually from your Vault agent VM:

  1. Start Job
    Use this command:

    ecactl airgap startjob --job <job-name>

    Replace <job-name> with your specific job name.

  2. List Available Jobs
    View all available job names:

    ecactl airgap list

This starts your selected AirGap job directly from the Vault agent VM.
