Setting Up the Server Policy Package The Scheduled Down Policy

This policy is a plural policy, which means that you can create multiple instances of this policy in a single policy package. You create this policy by clicking the Add button at the bottom of the main Server Policy Package screen. When you click the Add button, you are prompted to select a policy and to name the policy. You need to select Scheduled Down for the policy and type a unique policy name. After you do this, you can activate and modify the policy. Figure 5.17 displays a sample scheduled down policy.

Figure 5.17. Procedure page of the scheduled down policy in a Server Policy Package.

This policy enables you to schedule that the server reset, restart, or down at a particular time.

You can select one of the following server options:

• Reset server. This downs the server and performs a warm boot of the machine.

• Restart server. This downs and then restarts the server.

• Down server. This downs the server.

On the Policy Schedule page, you may specify the time frame when you want the server to be reset, restarted, or downed. The details concerning your choices for the schedule are described later in the chapter in the "Setting Up the Server Policy Package The SNMP Community Strings" section.
