Node Support Implementation

Within Security Management, all asset definitions are typically global; that is, the definitions apply on all hosts that may share the Security Management Database.

CA NSM provides node support for the UNIX/Linux platform under which a definition can be associated with a specific node in a group. Node support is useful for sites that share an MDB among multiple systems and sites that would like to use Security Management evaluators in a distributed client/server environment.

The implementation of node support requires an understanding of asset definitions and policy evaluation before you can determine how you want to set the options that control this support.
