The Configuration tab contains snapshot configuration properties that affect the behavior of the storage array in your environment.
Tip
If you don't select the Auto Update Array Host Aliases check box, then you must manually enter any aliases for the array in the Array Host Aliases list. If you specify a list of aliases in the Array Host Aliases property to manually control the names for the array, then clear the Auto Update Array Host Aliases check box. Aliases are important for recognizing an array during snapshot backup jobs. An array can have multiple hostnames, IP addresses, or user configured names, which might be accessible by the client that initiates the snapshot creation.

Array Host Aliases |
The list of aliases that can be accessed by the array. If you manually enter aliases by creating this list, then clear the Auto Update Array Host Aliases check box.
