Deactivating Unified Management

To deactivate Unified Management on the management server, the management features are deactivated, but the most recent configuration settings (that is, the information about managed client servers) remain on the Unified Management Configuration page.

The following changes occur when you deactivate Unified Management:

• Management Features – Unified Management options are removed from pages in the console, except for on the Configuration page. The former management server cannot create rules that affect client servers, and the server choice options on Rules pages disappear.
• Rule Pages – Rules created or copied to client servers by the management server are still in effect and show that Unified Management was their source. However, you cannot edit them as Unified Management rules. You can edit them locally.
• File Pages – File table pages stop showing the "Unified" banner, stop having a dropdown menu for servers, and do not show their files grouped by server. All files that do not exist on the current server become inaccessible.
