Enter 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.
