About hostname settings

The hostname of the system can be changed to adhere to any naming conventions in your environment. Recovery Series systems are shipped with the default hostname Recovery-<model number>.

To change the hostname

1

Access the Select the hostname step in the Setup Wizard, or select Settings > Clients, Networking, and Notifications > Networks > Hostname.

2

Enter the new hostname in the System Hostname field.

3

Enter the new long name for the system in the Fully-Qualified System Hostname field. This enables name resolution lookups with the long name as well as the short name.

4

If the system is already configured and schedules have been setup to protect the clients in your environment, check the Keep existing hostname aliases box.

By checking this box, both the current and previous hostnames are resolved on the network.

5

Click Next to save the settings and continue with the Setup Wizard, or click Close to exit without saving.
