Changing the host name of a VMware server in NetBackup
Use the following procedure if you need to change a VMware server's host name as it is stored in NetBackup.
Example reasons for changing the VMware server name are the following:
You used a short host name for the server for its NetBackup credentials, and need to replace that name with the fully qualified host name.
Two hosts currently resolve to the same IP address, and one of them must be renamed and assigned a new IP address.
