Upgrade Assigned Hosts to the Latest Policy Version

New policy versions are not sent automatically to assigned hosts or to hosts where the policy is deployed. You need to manually upgrade hosts where the policy is deployed to the latest policy version.

Follow these steps:

1. In CA ControlMinder Enterprise Management click Policy Management, Policy, Assignment, Upgrade Policy.

   The Upgrade Policy wizard appears at the Policy Selection task stage.

2. Complete the wizard, then click Finish after you read the summary.

   CA ControlMinder submits the policy upgrade task. For the policy to be upgraded on a host, CA ControlMinder creates a DEPLOYMENT task for the host to retrieve.

   Note: When you select host groups to upgrade, CA ControlMinder Enterprise Management lets you choose from only those host groups that contain hosts that have an older version of the policy deployed.

Note: You can also use the policydeploy utility to perform this task. For more information about the policydeploy utility, see the Reference Guide.
