Policy migration

Prev Next

The Endpoint Security (HX) server uses policies and settings to manage your xAgents. To prevent any disruptions to agent processes running on your endpoints, it is critical that your policies and settings remain the same following a Endpoint Security (HX) server upgrade to version 4.5 or later.

During an upgrade, your Endpoint Security (HX) server provides a migration path that automatically transfers and maps existing agent policies and settings to the corresponding policy type. Migrated policies retain the same host set assignments that were applied in your earlier software version.

You can view select migrated policies through the Endpoint Security (HX) Web UI or the API.

Important

Endpoint Security (HX) version 4.5 deprecate CLI commands used to set xAgent configuration.

The following table list the supported methods for viewing and editing each type of migrated policy.
