Policies are activated when they are created. You can deactivate a policy, but still keep it stored in

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 372.
2. Click the Edit ( ) button corresponding to the policy you want to modify.
3. Deselect the Active option.
4. Click Finish.
The policy is deactivated.
Deleting Policies
