Querying Associations

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

When you query the system for information about node associations, the server returns the following information:

• Name of the schedule
• Name of the policy domain to which the schedule belongs
• Names of the clients that are currently associated with the schedule

The following figure shows the report that is displayed after you enter:

query association engpoldom

Deleting Associations

When you delete the association of a client node to a client schedule, the client data is no longer managed according to the schedule. However, the remaining client nodes still use the schedule.

To delete the association of the ENGNOD client with the ENGWEEKLY schedule, enter:

delete association engpoldom engweekly engnod

Rather than delete a schedule, you may want to delete all associations to it and save the schedule for possible use in the future.
