After pressing Enter, you return to the Work with HA Policies screen. A message informs you of the change and how many policies are correctly functioning.

To change a specific instance of the QHA_COMM_STRICT_CERT_CHECK policy using the CHGHAPCY command you enter:

CHGHAPCY PCY(QHA_COMM_STRICT_CERT_CHECK) PCYDMN(*NONE) QUAL('cfgd(test1)') VALUE(*NO)

This example changes the value of the instance of the QHA_COMM_STRICT_CERT_CHECK PowerHA policy using the configuration description test1 as a qualifier to *NO, indicating that the strict usage of certificates in the cluster in not required.

Verify that the entries in the HA policy are changed correctly using the DSPHAPCY command.
