This page displays the details of an existing managed system, and allows
some of its settings to be changed. The common fields that appear regardless
of the type of system are :
- Internet hostname
- This must contain the DNS-resolvable hostname or IP address of the system.
It can be changed, but only to a different hostname that resolves to the
same address.
- Description or comment
- This field is for entering your own description of the system, like
Joe's web server.
- Operating system
- From this menu you should select the OS or Linux distribution that the
managed system runs. Cloudmin will use this when installing Webmin or other
packages to determine the correct package format.
- System groups
- This section can be used to assign systems to one or more groups, for
easier categorization when you have a large number of systems. You can
either check the boxes next to group names (if any exist), or enter a new
name into the New group field.
- Start at host boot time?
- For virtual systems using Xen, VServers or Zones, this field controls if
the system is started up when the host machine is booted.
- Last status
- This field shows the status of the system, as determined by Cloudmin at the
last scheduled or manual check. See the status descriptions help page for more details.
- Detailed status error
- If the status indicates some error talking to the system, this field
will show more details on what went wrong, such as why SSH failed or why
Webmin could not be contacted.
Other fields depend on the virtual system type, but typically include the
host system, memory used and instance name. If you change the hostname,
description, authentication options or other settings,
click the Save button to make them active.
