Policy Versions That You Cannot Delete

You cannot delete a policy version if any of the following are true:

• The policy version is effective (assigned or deployed) on a host.

  You must unassign or undeploy the policy version from the host before you delete the policy version.

• The policy version has a status on the DMS.

  You must unassign or undeploy the policy version from the host before you delete the policy version. If you cannot unassign or undeploy the policy version, you must manually remove it from the host.

• The policy has a status of Undeployed with failures.

  You must remove this status before you delete the policy version.

Examples: Policy Versions That You Cannot Delete

The following are examples of policy versions that you cannot delete, because they have a status on the DMS but are not effective on the host:

• Deployed with Failures
• Not Executed

In both these cases, you must manually remove the policy version from the host before you delete the policy version.

Note: For more information about policy status on hosts (HNODEs), see the Reference Guide. For more information about removing the status of policy versions, see the Troubleshooting Guide.
