host name for your appliance.

If this appliance has been factory reset and you want to import any of its
previous backup images, the appliance host name must meet one of the
following rules:
The host name must be exactly the same as the one used before the factory
■
reset.
If you want to change the host name to an FQDN, it must include the short
■
name that was used before the factory reset. For example, if "myhost" was
used before the factory reset, use "myhost.domainname.com" as the new
FQDN.
If you want to change the host name to a short host name, it must be derived
■
from the FQDN that was used before the factory reset. For example, if
"myhost.domainname.com" was used before the factory reset, use "myhost"
as the new short host name.
Note: The host name can only be set during an initial configuration session.
After the initial configuration has completed successfully, you can re-enter
initial configuration by performing a factory reset on the appliance. See the
NetBackup Appliance Administrator's Guide for more information.
