You can install policies on a management server as part of a Smart Plug-in, or develop them yourself. You can then use the policies to configure or monitor nodes by deploying them to the nodes. You can deploy individual policies or groups of policies to any number of nodes at the same time.
To select one policy group, click the policy group in the console tree or details pane. You can also select multiple policy groups by pressing SHIFT or CTRL.
If you select a policy group that contains subgroups (a policy group tree), the management server deploys policies from the parent policy group first, and then deploys policies from the subgroups.
If a policy group tree contains different versions of the same policy, the management server deploys only the latest policy.
Select all nodes on which the current version of the policy is deployed.
Select all nodes on which any version of the policy is deployed.
If you need to modify the automatic selections, click Select nodes from the tree.
You can also deploy policies and policy groups by drag and drop. Select policies or policy groups and then drag and drop them onto a node or node group in the console tree. This deploys the policies with the following settings:
