Updating the Policy Manager Software
By way of background, the Policy Manager Publisher node acts as master. Administration, configuration, and
database write operations are allowed only on this master node. The Policy Manager appliance defaults to a
Publisher node unless it is made a Subscriber node. A Policy Manager cluster can contain only one Publisher
node. Cluster commands can be used to change the state of the node, hence the Publisher can be made a
Subscriber.
MySQL is supported in versions 6.0 and newer. Dell does not ship MySQL drivers by default. If you require MySQL,
contact Dell support to get the required patch. This patch does not persist across upgrades, so customers using
MySQL should contact support before they upgrade.
