Policy Server Configuration Wizard

Use the Policy Server Configuration wizard to configure or reconfigure the following components after installing the Policy Server:

• A policy store.
• SNMP support.
• The OneView Monitor UI.

Note: You cannot change the Policy Server FIPS–mode of operation using the Policy Server Configuration Wizard. For more information about changing the Policy Server FIPS–mode of operation, see the CA SiteMinder® Upgrade Guide.

Important! If you configured an Oracle iPlanet web server instance for the OneView Monitor UI or SNMP, do not use the wizard to configure new instances. Configuring new web server instances can cause the existing web server instance to fail.
