Specify the Nodes on Which the Action Will Run

When you bind the action to a policy, you specify the nodes on which the script should execute. You can configure the number of nodes or the percentage of nodes or you can configure a specific node. This flexibility allows you to configure scripts to run from a central management server, not just the node on which the violation occurred.

In the Configure Action pane of the policy actions to execute, either:

  • Select Execute Action on Affected Nodes and the percentage of the nodes or the number of nodes on which to run the script.
  • To designate the specific node on which to run the script, select Execute Action on Specified Node, and select the node on which the script should run from the popup node browser. You can either save the configuration or change it to designate a different node.
