Deactivating a Policy
Policies are activated when they are created. You can deactivate a policy, but still keep it stored in
the management server. For example, assume you created a policy that sends an e-mail whenever
an event of type minor is generated for a server. You might want to deactivate this policy before you
upgrade the server.
To deactivate a policy:
1. Access Policy Manager as described in the topic, ”Accessing Policy Manager” on page 592.
2. Click the button corresponding to the policy you want to modify.
3. Deselect the Active option.
4. Click the Finish button.
The policy is deactivated.
Deleting Policies
To delete a policy:
1. Access Policy Manager as described in the topic, ”Accessing Policy Manager” on page 592.
2. In the Policy Manager tree in the middle pane, click the element or infrastructure to view its
policies.
3. Do one of the following:
• Delete a policy - If you want to delete just one policy, click the button corresponding to
the policy you want to delete.
• Delete several policies at once - If you want to delete several policies at once, select the
check boxes next to the policies you want to delete. To select all of the policies, select the
check box next to the Name heading. Then, click the Delete button.
The policies are deleted.
