Windchill System Administrator's Guide

the right panel depends on whether or not you have requested a display of all
possible mounts.
When the radio button labeled Show only existing mounts is selected, the right
panel displays all mounts associated with the selected host, vault, or folder.
When the radio button labeled Show all possible mounts is selected, the right
panel displays the following:
• If the site is selected, all possible mounts for the hosts on that site.
• If a host is selected, all possible mounts to that host. Double-click a potential
mount (a mount with no defined path) to invoke the New Mount dialog box.
Double-click an existing mount to open the Update Mount dialog box.
• If a vault is selected, all folder and host combinations possible or already
defined for that vault. Because they are logical entities, vaults cannot be
mounted.
• If a folder is selected, all hosts on which that folder is or could be mounted.
Double-click a potential mount (a mount with no defined path) to invoke the
New Mount dialog box. Double-click an existing mount to open the Update
Mount dialog box.
You can use the Vault Configuration window menus and toolbar buttons to
perform such actions as the following:
• Create and update vault components
• Schedule revaulting
Adding and Updating Hosts
• Generate backup information
• Enable and disable the status of objects
• Clean up your vaults by removing unreferenced files.
• Validate a single mount or all mounts of an object.
Select File > New > New Host to add a host. Select Object > Update or doubleclick
a host icon to modify the selected host.
Hosts are identified by the Domain Name Service (DNS) name or IP address you
specify. If you enter a DNS name, ensure that no blank values are included in the
name specification.
The External Storage Administrator does not verify the validity of the host name
you enter.
