Dell EMC NetWorker 19.7 Administration Guide

Creating the hostname file

To use the gstmodconf command to add or delete multiple hosts simultaneously, specify the hostnames in a hostname text file.

To create a hostname file, use these guidelines.

• Only list one hostname on each line of the file.
• A non-comment line that contains more than one space-separated or tab-separated hostname generates an error.
• To include a comment in the file, start the line with a "#" character.
• Blank lines are treated as comments and ignored, as shown in the following example.
