Policy deployment


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 the policies to the nodes.

For each node, the management server maintains a policy inventory, which enables you to see which policies you have already deployed to each node. This helps you to decide when to update, redeploy, or remove policies. You can also disable policies on individual nodes temporarily, and enable them again later.

When you deploy policies from the management server to nodes, the management server creates deployment jobs. You can follow the progress of these jobs to ensure that the deployment is successful.

By default, HPOM automatically deploys certain core policies to nodes. You can also automatically deploy additional groups of policies by associating policy groups with node groups and service types. If you prefer to manually deploy your policies, you can disable automatic deployment.
