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 deploy a policy or policy group
Open Policy management in the console tree and select
the policies
that you want to deploy:
To select one policy, click the policy in the details pane. You
can also select multiple policies by pressing SHIFT or
CTRL. If you cannot see the version of a policy that you
want to deploy, change the policy view filter.
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.
Right-click your selection, and then click All
TasksDeploy on.... The Deploy
policies on... dialog appears.
Select the nodes that
you want to deploy the policies to by selecting check boxes for the
nodes and node groups in Managed nodes. If you selected only
one policy, the following extra options appear, which enable you to
automatically select nodes based on policy inventory:
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.
Optional. If you want to deploy the policies to nodes
that already have a more recent version of the policy, clear
deploy policy only if version is newer.
Optional. If you want to deploy the policies, but
immediately disable them, select disable policy after
deployment.
Optional. If another management server has already
deployed a version of a policy to a node, that management server
owns the policy on that node. If you want to redeploy the policy
from this management server, and transfer the ownership, select the
ignore policy owner check box. To do this, you must have the
user right to ignore policy ownership. The management server that
you are connected to must be a primary or secondary manager of the
node.
Click OK. The management server creates deployment jobs,
which deploy the policies to the nodes. If a policy requires a
newer version of the agent than is currently installed on the node,
the job also deploys the latest agent packages to the
node.
TIP
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:
The management server does not deploy policies to nodes that
have a newer version.
The management server enables the policies that it deploys,
unless an older version of the policy already exists on the node in
the disabled state.
The management server does not ignore policy ownership. If
another management server already owns a policy on a node, the job
that deploys the policy to that node fails. To transfer policy
ownership, use the Deploy policies on... dialog and select the
ignore policy owner check box.
