Active Unisphere configuration tasks persist across a server shutdown and subsequent restart. Inactive configuration tasks do not persist.
When the SMAS server is restarted, it restores all persisted tasks in the task list (based on the user and the storage system).
The status of each restored task is determined by its status before the server shutdown, as detailed in the following table:

Unknown
| NOTE: Configuration tasks that were in a
Commit in progress state before the server shutdown are restored in an Unknown state. This behavior occurs because there is no way for the server to determine whether the task completed successfully. To ensure that you are not committing a duplicate task, you should attempt to determine whether the original task completed successfully, before recommitting it.
