Updating this Node

To modify the attributes of a registered client node, first complete the following fields, and then click Finish, or click Cancel to end the task.

Password

Enter a 1-64 character new password for the client node. This parameter is optional.

Client Option Set

Enter the name of the option set to be used by the client. This parameter is optional.

Enter information identifying the node, such as a telephone number or E-mail address. This parameter is optional.

Example: "Administrator for M47 - contact Shirley Jones at 9-1111"

Policy Domain Name

Select the policy domain to which the client node is registered. This parameter is optional.

Client Compression Setting

Select whether the client node should compress its files before sending them to the server for backup and archive. The parameter is optional.

Yes Specifies that the client node compresses its files before sending them to the server for backup and archive.
No Specifies that that the client node does not compress its files before sending them to the server for backup and archive.
Client Specifies that data sent to the server should be compressed if compression is specified in the client options file.

Archive Delete Allowed

Select whether the client node can delete its own archived files from the server.

Yes Allow the client node to delete archive files.
No Do not allow the client node to delete archive files.

Backup Delete Allowed

Select whether the client node can delete its own backup files from the server.

Yes Allow the client node to delete backup files.
No Do not allow the client node to delete backup files.

Force Password Reset

Select whether the administrator has the option to force a client to change or reset the password. The parameter is optional.

Yes Specifies that the client node or administrator's password will expire at the next logon. The client must change or reset the password at that time. If a password is not specified, you will receive an error.
No Specifies that the password expiration period is set by the SET PASSEXP command. The storage administrator does not have the option to force a client to change or reset the password while attempting to logon to the server.

Keep Mount Point

Select whether the node should retain the tape mount point for the entire session.

Yes Specifies that the node must retain the tape mount point during the entire session.
No Specifies that the node will release the tape mount point if policy definitions cause data to be stored in a disk storage pool after storing data in a sequential storage pool. The default is No.

Maximum Mount Points Allowed

Enter a number from 0 to 999 to specify the maximum allowed resource usage by this node. A value of 0 specifies that tape drives cannot be acquired for storage operations. Data storage operations must be contained within a disk storage pool and server operations like migration will manage putting data on tape. A value of 0 does not prevent a retrieve operation from acquiring a tape drive. A node is always allowed to acquire at least 1 tape mount point for the purpose of data retrieval. Entering a value other than 0, limits the node to the specified number of tape drives and prevents the node from monopolizing all of the available tape drives. This parameter is optional.

URL

Enter the client node's URL, if you want to link to it from the Network view. This parameter is optional.  If you want to remove the value for this field, you must specify empty single quotes or empty double quotes with no spaces, ('' or "").

Select the name of the policy domain to use as a filter in combination with the node name. This parameter is optional.

Where Platform is equal to

Select the name of the client platform to use as a filter in combination with the nodename. This parameter is optional.

Password Expiration Period

Enter the number of days that a password stays valid. You can specify from 1 to 9999. If a password expires, the server prompts for a new password when the administrator or client node contacts the server.
