To configure the Roll-Up policy:

1. In ConsoleOne, right-click the Server Package, click Properties, click Policies, then select the appropriate suboption. If you want to this policy to be applied on all servers, select the General suboption.

2. Select the check box under the Enabled column for the Inventory Rollup Policy.

3. Click Properties to display the Roll-Up Policy page.

4. Browse to and select the DN of the Inventory Service object (Inventory Service_server_name).

   Destination Server Object: You must specify the DN of the Inventory Service object at the next level Inventory server for moving the inventory information from the selected Inventory server. The server that you specify must be another Intermediate Server, Intermediate Server with Database, Intermediate Server with Database and Inventoried Workstations, Intermediate Server with Inventoried Workstations, Root Server, or Root Server with Inventoried Workstations.

   NOTE:Make sure that the specified Inventory server is a different server, because the roll-up of information cannot happen on the same Inventory server. Also, the higher level roll-up Inventory server cannot specify the lower-level Inventory server as the next-destination server for roll-up of information.

   If you want to roll up to an Inventory server in a different eDirectory tree, click the Set Context button, enter the tree name, and select the Inventory Service object of the next-level server.

5. By default, the DNS name or the IP address (if a DNS name is not configured) of the next-level server is populated in the field. If the next-level server has multiple IP addresses, select the preferred address.

   IMPORTANT:Make sure that the DNS name of the next-level server is valid. If the DNS name is invalid, you must select an appropriate server IP address.

6. If the roll-up is to an Inventory server that is across the firewall, specify the IP address or the DNS name and the port number of the proxy server.

7. Click Apply.

8. Click the Roll-Up Policy tab, then click Roll-Up Schedule.

9. Modify the settings for scheduling the roll-up time, then click Apply.

   When you schedule the roll-up of information in the Inventory policies, we recommend the roll-up frequency should be at least one day. It is likely that if the roll-up of inventory information is scheduled too frequently, for example less than one hour, there might be some performance degradation of the Inventory server.

10. (Conditional) If you have not yet associated the Server Package, you are prompted to associate it with an Inventory server or a container. The policy you configured and enabled earlier will not be in effect until you associate this policy package with an Inventory server or a container.

    To associate the policy package:

    1. Click the Associations tab, then click Add.

    2. Browse for and select the Inventory server or the container that you want to associate the Roll-Up policy to.

    3. Click OK, then click OK.

11. Click Apply, then click Close.
