Managing hosts and backup servers

The Inventory enables you to quickly assess the status of your system's virtual and physical hosts by evaluating collected or imported details of all hosts from across your organization. It does not include discovered, but not collected from hosts.

The Inventory List view enables you to manage individual Hosts and groups of Hosts. Note, all operations are privilege based. These operations are also available from the Host Group Overview dashboard in the Inventory. The following management operations are only available for Hosts and Backup Servers:

  • See Adding and Editing Hosts and Backup Servers .

  • See Decommission/Recommission Hosts and Backup Servers.

The following operations are available for all objects, including hosts:

  • See Navigating with search.
