In some cases, a master server may not be able to view the host properties of a media server or client in the Administration Console. The NetBackup customer's DNS reverse host name lookup configuration may be one possible reason why the host properties may not be visible.
In this case, since changing the NetBackup Reverse Host Name Lookup host property involves being able to view the host properties, you'll need to use another method to change the Reverse Host Name Lookup host property.
Use the methods that are described in the following sections to add the REVERSE_NAME_LOOKUP entry to the bp.conf file (UNIX) or to the Windows registry.
See REVERSE_NAME_LOOKUP entry.
