6. When the Status line displays finished, the process has finished and you can select in which domain the<br />

new hosts should be placed using the import settings.<br />

7. Click Finish.<br />

<strong>Policy</strong> <strong>Manager</strong> Console will place the new hosts in the domain that you selected, unless you specified<br />

another domain in this dialog. You can also choose not to place the hosts to any domain automatically.<br />

The new hosts will send autoregs and the hosts can be imported that way.<br />

After a few minutes, the products that were installed will be listed.<br />

8. To see this list, select the Installation tab (alternatively select the top domain on the <strong>Policy</strong> domain tree).<br />

<strong>Policy</strong>-based installation<br />

Installation operations on hosts that have Management Agent installed can be centrally managed through<br />

the policies in <strong>Policy</strong> <strong>Manager</strong>.<br />

<strong>Policy</strong>-based installation creates and stores the operation-specific installation package, and writes an installation<br />

task to the base policy files (thus, policy distribution is required to start installations). Both base policy files<br />

and the installation package are signed by the management key-pair so that only genuine information is<br />

accepted by the hosts.<br />

Management Agent on the hosts fetches the new policies from <strong>Policy</strong> <strong>Manager</strong> Server and discovers the<br />

installation task. Management Agent fetches the installation package specified in the task parameters from<br />

the server and starts the installation program.<br />

When installation is complete, Management Agent sends the result of the installation operation in an incremental<br />

policy file to the server. The results of the new status information are then shown in <strong>Policy</strong> <strong>Manager</strong> Console<br />

.<br />

Uninstallation uses these same delivery mechanisms. The results of the uninstallation will not be reported.<br />

Using policy-based installation<br />

<strong>Policy</strong>-based installation must be used on hosts that already have Management Agent installed.<br />

You can use policy-based installation to perform installation operations on a selected domain or selected<br />

hosts. In addition to installing products, you can perform hotfix, upgrade, repair and uninstallation operations.<br />

When the installation operation is completed successfully, you can leave the operation on the <strong>Policy</strong>-based<br />

installations table, so that the same installation operation will automatically be applied to any new hosts that<br />

are added to the corresponding domain.<br />

To use policy-based installation:<br />

1. Open the Installation tab.<br />

On the Installation tab, <strong>Policy</strong>-based installations table shows the status of any current installation<br />

operations, and the Installed products summary table lists the products that are currently installed on<br />

managed hosts.<br />

2. Click Install under the <strong>Policy</strong>-based installations table to start the remote installation wizard.<br />

3. Complete the remote installation wizard with the necessary details.<br />

F-<strong>Secure</strong> <strong>Policy</strong> <strong>Manager</strong> | Using <strong>Policy</strong> <strong>Manager</strong> Console | 35<br />

The information entered in the remote installation wizard is used to prepare the customized package<br />

specific for this installation operation. The installation package will be then distributed to the selected<br />

domain or hosts once the policy is distributed.<br />

Once the remote installation wizard is complete, the installation operation and status will appear on the<br />

<strong>Policy</strong>-based installations table as a new row.<br />

4. Distribute the policy.<br />

Once the installation operation is complete, the product name, version and number of hosts running the<br />

product are shown on the Installed products summary table.
