policydeploy -join Function—Join or Remove a Host to a Host Group

This function joins a host to a host group or removes a host from a host group.

This function has the following format:

policydeploy -join[-] hnode_name -ghnode name [-dms list]

-dms list

(Optional) Specifies a comma-separated list of DMS nodes to use. When you deploy or undeploy a policy, these are the DMS nodes to which the action is reported. When you store a policy, these are the DMS nodes where the policy is stored.

If you do not specify DMS nodes with this option, the utility uses the list of DMS nodes specified in the local CA ControlMinder database. To specify a list of DMS nodes in the database, you need to issue the following selang command after you create a new DMS using dmsmgr:

so dms+(new_dms_name)

Note: You need to issue the same command if you did not specify the DMS node during installation, or if you want to replace or add the registered DMS on the endpoint. However, when you specify to create an advanced policy management server during installation, the DMS is added to the database and you do not need to manually run the above command.

-ghnode name

Defines the name of the host group for the operation you want to perform.

-join hnode_name

Adds the specified host to the host group.

-join- hnode_name

Removes the specified host from the host group.
