Add or Remove Host Mappings dialog box

Hosts may have multiple host names or IP addresses associated with them. For successful communication between hosts, all relevant host names and IP addresses need to be mapped to the respective host IDs.

Only System Administrator can access the Add or Remove Host Mappings properties for a NetBackup host.
