The IP address is stored on the server in its arp table. You haven't said what plateform your server is on (NT, AIX, whatever....) so, you have to flush your arp table, specific *to* your platform, then re-aquire the new NIC. The easiest way to re-aquire is simple to ping the client; that will insert the new mac address -- and the maped IP address -- into the server's arp table.

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
