To Create a BMI Policy File and Profiles

If you create a profile after you log into the BMI server, the profile is displayed the next time that you log in.

1. Start the console.

   $ uce_console

   The Login window appears.

2. Log in as the admin user.

   The console initializes and the main window appears.

3. Open the Policies window.

   • From the tool bar, click the Policies icon.

   • From the Tools menu, choose Policies.

4. Open the Policy Editor window.

   • From the tool bar on the Policies window, click the New icon.

   • Right-click a blank space in the Policies window and choose New.

     The Policy Editor window opens.

5. Create a new policy that predefines the actions.

   If you have more than one client distribution, click Multi Distro.

   In the window that opens, expand all categories and select all the options. This ensures that the policy is relevant for any distribution you choose to provision.

6. Click OK.

   The Policy Editor window closes. The policy is created and appears in the Policies window.

7. (Optional) Create the profiles that you will use in the BMI server to provision systems.

   If you have more than one client distribution, click Multi Distro for each profile and in the window that opens, expand all categories and select all the options. This ensures that each profile can be deployed on any remote computer that is being provisioned with any of your selected distributions.
