Configuring host name and domain settings

You must assign a host name for the appliance. It is recommended that you change the host name before starting backups. By default, the host name is the system name that the operating system assigns.
NOTE: If you plan to change the host name, it is recommended that you change the host name at this stage. Changing the host name after completing the AppAssure Appliance Configuration wizard requires manually performing several steps.

To configure the host name and domain settings:

  1. On the Configure host name and domain setting page, to change the host name for the appliance, in New host name enter an appropriate host name.
  2. If you do not want the appliance to join a domain, select No in Do you want this appliance to join a domain?
    By default, Yes is selected.
  3. To join the appliance to a domain, enter the following details:
    • Domain name
    • Domain user name
      NOTE: The domain user must have local administrative rights.
    • Domain user password
  4. Click Next.
    NOTE: Changing the host name or the domain requires restarting the machine. After restarting the machine, the AppAssure Appliance Configuration wizard launches automatically. If the appliance is joined to a domain, after restarting the machine, you must log in as a domain user with administrative privileges on the appliance.
    The Configure SNMP Settings page is displayed.
