Dell PowerProtect DD Management Center (DDMC) 7.9 Installation and Administration Guide

Configuring hosts

Both the host name and domain name are used by other systems when they want to access DDMC. The host name can be set manually or automatically generated with DHCP.

About this task

Note the following before setting a host or domain name:

  • Do not include an underscore in the host name. It is incompatible with some browsers.
  • Changing the names of an active host can cause: (1) a break in the current connection – if this happens, log back in, and check the saved settings, and/or (2) disruption of communication with managed systems.

Steps

  1. Click the Settings button (the gear icon) in the DDMC banner, then select Network > Hosts.
  2. Select how you want to set the host and domain names:
    • Obtain Settings using DHCP.
    • Manually.
      • Enter a host name.
      • Enter a domain name, which is the domain name associated with DDMC. Typically, this is your company domain name. For example, yourcompany.com
  3. Click Apply.
