Advanced Search - Host Management
1. Click Advanced on the Host Management page to further filter the host results.
2. Select your customized scope to filter your results. Multi-select is allowed using Ctrl+click in the list boxes.
3. Click
Generate. The results are shown. A message is displayed to indicate the view has been filtered.
You can customize the results by selecting not only what you’d like in, but also what you’d like left out. For example, find hosts that have not been collected from a particular subsystem, such as Veritas NetBackup. You can also set no value for an attribute as part of the scope. For example, if all your hosts should have a value for a region attribute set, you can select “no value” for the region attribute to yield the list that you can then use to assign attributes. See
Group Hosts by Attributes.
For field descriptions, refer to
Host Scope Selector Settings.
