If you have multiple NIC cards and your networks are such that it can get to TSM via both routes, then you can't guarentee which nic will be used...probably the first nic on the bus. If due to routing...there's only one "path" for a client to reach the tsm server, then there you have it...

Hello all, We recently thought we would try to change which NIC one of our nodes' uses to do backups. >From what I'd been able to find on the adsm message boards out there, it looked as if ADSM, when initially contacted by a node, traps the IP address that the node uses and stores that information untill contacted by that node on a different IP address. So when we were finally able to we downed the primary NIC and restarted the dsmc sched process . ( Thinking was that the client would contact adsm with the desired IP address and that would then be trapped and everything would be fine. ) But it did not work. Does anyone have any ideas?! _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com
