3. What is the nature and description of the request?  

RHEV should include the ability to allow tasks such as VM snapshots, VM shutdown/startup/reboot, Disk Moves etc to happen at specified time/date automatically.

  
4. Why does the customer need this? (List the business requirements here)  
  
Customer runs production systems on RHEV, and as such only have narrow service windows in which to make changes. 
These are sometime early hours of the morning and require on-call staff to execute simple jobs that would benefit from automation
Deployments of software updates etc are run on a schedule, and to safeguard data, if a VM snapshot could be scheduled to occur before
deployments are due to go out, would allow for easy roll back in case of issues.

5. How would the customer like to achieve this? (List the functional requirements here)  

Facility when executing a job to either run now, at a specific time (one-off) or regularly (daily, weekly etc) maybe as a cron 
style format as well. The ability to chain tasks together, eg to take a snapshot, then when that is complete to create a clone 
based on that snapshot.
  
6. Is there already an existing RFE upstream or in Red Hat Bugzilla?
