To Edit a Managed Host

In this procedure you will view and edit properties of a managed host.

You cannot edit managed hosts in the following circumstances:

• The host is currently in an active job.

• The host is selected for a scheduled job.

• The host belongs to a group that is currently in an active job.

• If the host belongs to a permitted group of a user with restricted permissions, which group is selected for a scheduled job, you cannot remove a group from the Selected Groups list of the host.

1. Login as a user with full permissions or as the admin user.

2. In the Hosts list, expand a group and select a single managed host.

3. Do one of the following:

   • From the tool bar, click the Edit Host button.

   • Right-click the managed host and choose Edit.

   • From the Hosts menu, choose Edit.

   The Host Properties window opens.

4. (Optional) Change the Host Name.

   The name is for Sun Update Connection – Enterprise display only and the name does not affect the host. You cannot change the Unique String, IP Address, or Distribution.

5. (Optional) Change the Profile of the host.

   This step does not lock the host to the profile. You can still run any job on the managed host. This step does provide information, letting you know whenever the host does not comply with the profile requirements.

6. (Optional) Change the free-text description.

7. (Optional) Add more groups to the Selected Groups list of this host.

8. (Optional) Remove groups from the Selected Groups list, but only if the groups are not selected for active or scheduled jobs.

9. Click OK.

   The Host Properties window closes.
