Unassign Nodes from Policies

Virtual Standby lets you unassign nodes from policies. Virtual Standby does not let you assign multiple policies to nodes. When you want to assign nodes to new policies, you unassign the current policy from the nodes before you can assign the new policy to nodes.

Follow these steps:

1. Log in to the virtual standby server and open Virtual Standby.

   From the Navigation bar on the home page, click Policies to open the Policy screen.

2. From the Policies list, click the policy that you want to unassign nodes.

   Detailed information about the specified policy appears in the Policy Detail tab and the Policy Assignment tab.

3. Click the Policy Detail tab to view detailed information about the policy.

   (Optional) Click Edit on the Policies toolbar to edit the current policy settings.

   Note: For more information, see Edit Policies.

4. Click the Policy Assignment tab.

   Click Assign and Unassign on the Policy Assignment tab to open the Assign/Unassign Policy dialog.

5. Specify the following fields from the Assign/Unassign Policy dialog:
   • Group--Select the group name containing the policy that you want to assign.
   • Node Name Filter--Lets you filter the available nodes based on a common criteria.

   Note: The Filter fields support the use of wildcard characters.

   Examples:

   • Acc* lets you filter all nodes having a node name that begins with Acc.
   • *.123 lets you filter all nodes having .123 in the IP Address.

   Note: To clear the filter results, click X in the Filter field.

6. Do one of the following actions:
   • Unassign a node--From the Selected Nodes list, locate the node that you want to unassign from to the policy.

     Click the single left arrow.

     The node moves from the Selected Nodes list to the Available Nodes list.

   • Unassign nodes--From the Selected Nodes list, click the double left arrow.

     All nodes move from the Selected Nodes list to the Available Nodes list.

   Click OK.

The nodes are unassigned from the policy.
