Adding host aliases in OpsCenter
This section provides the procedures to add aliases for hosts.
The host's primary alias is displayed in all console functions and reports. Other host aliases are used when you search in OpsCenter or gather and collate data.
Warning:
Your alias names must be compatible with your hosts' DNS names or with the names by which they are known to applications such as NetBackup and Backup Exec. For example, if you use an alias that is unknown to OpsCenter, the explorer stops collecting information from the OpsCenter host. Instead the explorer attempts to collect data from a host with the alias name.
To add a host alias
- In the OpsCenter console, click Settings > Configuration > Host Alias.
- From the drop-down list select a host name or type a host name and click Show Alias.
All the existing aliases are displayed.
- Click Add Alias.
- Enter the alias name for the host that you have selected from the drop-down list.
- Click Save.
