Reverting a System to Its Last-Saved State

You may want to revert systems marked with change symbols (|, -, or %) to their last-saved state in the name service database. Reverting these previously existing systems will not affect their presence in the main window.

However, reverting a newly-added (not yet saved) AutoClient system (identified with a +) will result in the entry being deleted from the scrolling list in the main window.

Note that when you select the Revert option, a message asks for confirmation.

How to Revert a System to Its Last-Saved State

1. Start Host Manager from the Solstice Launcher and select the name service, if not done already.

   See "Starting Host Manager"for more information.

2. Select the system or systems you want to revert.

   To select more than one system, click SELECT (by default, the left mouse button) on the first system. Then select each subsequent system by pressing the Control key and clicking SELECT.

3. Choose Revert from the Edit Menu.

   The revert confirmation message appears.

   

4. Click on Revert.

   The revert operation takes effect immediately.

Verification

Make sure the system type displays in the main window as its original type or with its original characteristics.
