Hosts properties

Use the Hosts property sheet of the Change Configuration dialog box to add, remove, or change the attributes of any host that has a role in the restore process.

You can change attributes so you can restore on a network with a different configuration, such as at a disaster recovery site.

In the Java-based Administration Console, changes occur when you make them.

Table: Hosts mapping actions describes the actions you can initiate from the property sheet.
