Managing a Cluster of Security Manager Servers
Tips
You can export to the Security Manager server or to the local Security Manager client. You can
control the ability to export to or import from the local Security Manager client from Tools >
Security Manager Administration > Customize Desktop. For more information, see Customize
Desktop Page, page 11-6.
Only shared policies and policy objects that have been submitted and approved are included in the
export file. Make sure that all desired submissions and approvals have occurred before exporting
policies.
All policy objects referenced by shared policies are also exported. However, if a policy object is not
referenced, it is not exported. There is a separate command you can use to export network/host,
service, and port list objects directly; for information, see Importing and Exporting Policy Objects,
page 6-21.
You cannot export policies while an activity or configuration session is being approved. All
approvals must be complete before you can export policies. In Workflow mode with an approver,
contact the approver and ask that the approval be completed in a timely manner. In non-Workflow
mode, or Workflow mode without an approver, wait a few minutes before retrying the export,
because approvals happen automatically when changes are submitted.
While you are exporting policies, policy changes cannot be approved. Once the export file has been
created, and the command finishes, users can again approve policy changes. In non-Workflow mode,
or Workflow mode without an approver, this means that submissions are not allowed during the
export process.
To export policies and their policy objects, you must have Modify Policy and Modify Object
privileges to the policy and object types. These privileges can be assigned for separate policies,
objects, and devices when using ACS for authorization control. Having system administrator,
network administrator, or security administrator privileges provide the required privileges.

box.
Before opening the dialog box, Security Manager evaluates and loads any shared policies that are
defined.
Step 2 Select the shared policies that you want to export, using any of the following methods:
Tip You can use multiple methods to select policies. For example, you can select all shared policies
modified since a certain date and also select all shared policies of a specific type to export those
policies in the same file.
