About policy checks
The Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager policy check uses individual rules, called policy signatures, to validate whether the data center configuration conforms to a predefined standard. Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager contains a set of predefined signatures. You can also create customized signatures.
Policy check scans identify the resources in the Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager environment that do not meet the specified standards. Violations can be tracked over time. The policy check helps you better identify and address risks in your environment by providing notification of error and risk conditions on a proactive basis, before they evolve into something more severe.
You select the signatures to be scanned and a schedule for when to run the scan. This process is called registering signatures. You can also run scans on demand. Once the scan is performed, you can view the violation results. You can enable or disable the signatures temporarily.
The time that is required for the scan depends on the number of hosts against which the policy checks are run and the number of signatures run.
You cannot register signatures on ESX servers and non-global zones because the VRTSsfmh package is not installed on them.
