Remove a Subscriber

If you no longer want to propagate updates to a particular subscriber, you should remove it. Alternatively, you can exclude a subscriber from receiving updates.

To remove a subscriber

1. Remove the computer from the subscription list:

   sepmd ‑u PMDB_name computer_name
   

   The computer is removed from the Policy Model subscription list.

2. Shut down seosd on the computer that you removed from the subscription list:

   secons -s
   

   The daemon seosd is shut down.

3. Delete the value of the parent_pmd token in the [seos] section of the seos.ini file on the computer you removed from the subscription list.

   The computer will stop accepting updates from the parent PMDB.

4. Restart seosd.

   The active database on the computer that you removed from the subscription list is no longer a subscriber of the specified PMDB.

Note: Once the database is unsubscribed from the PMDB, the PMDB no longer sends commands.
