From the
Main_Menu
>
Network
view, use the following command to set the
host name for your appliance.
Hostname Set
Name
Where
Name
is the short host name or the fully qualified domain name (FQDN)
of this appliance.
The host name is applied to the entire appliance configuration with a few
exceptions. The short name always appears in the following places:
■
NetBackup Appliance Shell Menu prompts
■
Deduplication pool catalog backup policy
■
Default storage unit and disk pool names
If this appliance has been factory reset and you want to import any of its
previous backup images, the appliance host name must meet one of the
following rules:
■
The host name must be exactly the same as the one used before the factory
reset.
■
If you want to change the host name to an FQDN, it must include the short
name that was used before the factory reset. For example, if “myhost” was
used before the factory reset, use “myhost.domainname.com" as the new
FQDN.
■
If you want to change the host name to a short host name, it must be derived
from the FQDN that was used before the factory reset. For example, if
“myhost.domainname.com” was used before the factory reset, use “myhost”
as the new short host name.
Note:
The host name can only be set during an initial configuration session.
After the initial configuration has completed successfully, you can re-enter
initial configuration by performing a factory reset on the appliance. See the
NetBackup Appliance Administrator's Guide
for more information.
