Updating a Host
When host information is updated, all related host data is updated throughout the NV9000-SE sys-
tem. For example, if the host name is updated in the ‘Hosts’ table, the host name is also immedi-
ately updated in the ‘Routers’ table that also lists hosts. NV9000-SE saves all configuration
changes to the database. Once changes are saved, there is no “undo” function; the configuration is
permanently altered. To implement saved configuration changes, the changes must be written to the
system controller for dispersal to connected routers. For information on implementing changes, see
Implementing Configuration Changes on page 17.
Using the ‘Hosts’ table accessed through the ‘Views’ pane, the host name, backup host name,
parameters and logging mode can be updated.
By default, the primary host computer is named ‘NVCONFIG’ and the backup host computer is
named ‘NVCONFIG2’.
How to Edit Host Information
1 Launch NV9000-SE. (See Launching and Exiting the Application on page 12.)
2 From the Navigation area, select the ‘Views’ pane and then ‘Hosts’. The ‘Hosts’ table appears,
as shown in Figure 5-6.
All hosts currently defined in the system are listed. To narrow the list, enter the first characters
of the host’s name in the ‘Computer Name Filter’ field. The list is automatically reduced to dis-
play only hosts matching that character string.
