Creating a One Time Occurrence for a Schedule
By default, the maximum duration and the maximum number of tasks are set to none. If you do not change
either of these defaults, Cisco UCS Manager does not impose any limit to the length of time that the
maintenance window lasts. All pending activities are applied as soon as the scheduled maintenance window
begins, and Cisco UCS Manager continues to reboot the servers impacted by the pending activities until
all of those tasks are complete.

This can be one of the following:

occurrence can run. Cisco UCS completes as many scheduled
tasks as possible within the specified time.

this setting and you do not set a maximum number of tasks, the
maintenance window continues until all pending activities are completed.
