Removing software from a software policy

When you remove software from an HP-UX software policy, the software is not uninstalled from the managed server. This action only removes the software from the policy. To uninstall the HP-UX software from a managed server, you must directly uninstall the software from the managed server.

You must have permissions to remove HP-UX software from an HP-UX software policy. To obtain these permissions, contact your system administrator. For more information, see the SA 10.50 Administration Guide.

To remove HP-UX software from a software policy:

  1. In the navigation pane, select Library > By Type > Software Policies > HP-UX and an operating system version.
  2. In the content pane, select the software policy and then right-click to open the Software Policy window.
  3. In the Views pane, select Policy Items.
  4. Select the items that you want to remove from the list of policy items displayed in the Content pane.
  5. Click or, from the Actions menu, select Remove.
  6. From the File menu, select Save to save the changes you made to the policy.
