Managing Node Associations with Schedules

You can add and delete node associations from schedules. Nodes can be associated with more than one schedule.

You can perform the following activities to manage associations of client nodes with schedules.

Task Required Privilege Class
Add new nodes to existing schedules System or restricted policy over the domain to which the node is assigned
Move nodes to existing schedules System or restricted policy over the domain to which the node is assigned
Delete nodes associated with a schedule System or restricted policy over the domain to which the node is assigned
Display nodes associated with a specific schedule Any administrator

Adding New Nodes to Existing Schedules

You can add new nodes to existing schedules by associating the node with the schedule. To associate client nodes with a schedule, you can use the administrative Web interface or you can issue the DEFINE ASSOCIATION command from the command line interface. For information, see Associating Client Nodes with Schedules.

Moving Nodes from One Schedule to Another

You can move a node from one schedule to another schedule by:

  1. Associating the node to the new schedule. For information, see Associating Client Nodes with Schedules.
  2. Deleting the association of that node from the original schedule. For information, see "Removing Nodes from Schedules".

Displaying Nodes Associated with Schedules

You can display information about the nodes that are associated with a specific schedule. For example, you should query an association before deleting a client schedule.

Figure 41 shows the report that is displayed after you enter:

query association engpoldom

Removing Nodes from Schedules

When you remove the association of a node to a client schedule, the client no longer runs operations specified by the schedule. However, the remaining client nodes still use the schedule.

To delete the association of the ENGNOD client with the ENGWEEKLY schedule, in the policy domain named ENGPOLDOM, enter:

delete association engpoldom engweekly engnod

Instead of deleting a schedule, you may want to delete all associations to it and save the schedule for possible reuse in the future.
