How to Hide a Host

This procedure describes how to hide hosts by using the browser interface. You can also hide hosts by using the following command.

• hdb.h.mod -hide true – Hides a host.

For a detailed description of this command, see Chapter 7, hdb: CLI Commands for Managing Hosts, in N1 Grid Service Provisioning System 5.0 Command-Line Interface Reference Manual.

Before You Begin

To hide a host, you must belong to a user group that has Create, Edit, Delete permission on hosts.

Steps

1. Go to the Details page of the host you plan to hide.

   See How to View Hosts.

2. Click Edit.

3. Select Hidden at the bottom of the page.

4. Click Save.

   The host no longer appears in the Hosts page.

5. (Optional) If you hide the host because you will no longer use it, verify that the host is not used in any host sets or found by a host search.

   In the Host Relationships section of the host's Details page, verify that no host sets are listed in the Member of Host Sets box.

   Note –

   If a host search includes a hidden host and the host search is included in a host set, plans that are run on the host set will be run against the hidden host.
