Assign Nodes to the Policy

After you create the basic policy, you assign the CA ARCserve D2D nodes that you want to back up using to the policy.

Follow these steps:

1. From the CA ARCserve Central Protection Manager home page, click Policies on the Navigation bar to open the Policies screen.
2. From the list of policies on the Policy screen, click the policy that you created.
3. Click the Policy Assignment tab to display the policy assignment (list).
4. Click Assign and Unassign to open the Assign/Unassign Policy dialog.
5. Click the check box next to the node or nodes that you want to add and click the right arrow.

   A License Agreement dialog opens.

6. Read and accept the terms of the Licensing Agreement and click Complete.

   The nodes are assigned to the policy that you created and deployed immediately. Backups start based on the schedule that you defined on the Schedule tab.

7. When you are finished assigning nodes to policies, click OK to save the policy assignments and close the Assign and Unassign dialog.

After the nodes are assigned, CA ARCserve Central Protection Manager deploys the policy to the nodes immediately. The backup operations start based upon the protection settings that you selected and following the schedule that you defined in your policy.
