Sounds like it could be the configuration of the new NIC or name resolution.
Depending on how your nsswitch.conf file is configured you may need to add
entries to the hosts files on both the master and client for each other.
Also, check your speed & duplex settings on the NIC and switch -- always
force these, never rely on auto-negotiation.

Hello, 

I installed another NIC card on my Sun V880 so it could be on the same
subnet as the backup server.  This took the load off the production subnet.
I created a new client on the NetBackup server for the new interface.
Unfortunately, the backup of a 35GB file system is now taking longer - in
fact, it was over 3 days until I had to finally kill the job because it
doesn't appear to be doing anything.  This process use to take about 15
hours before the addition of the extra NIC card.  There is no routing issue.
There appears to be some traffic between the server and client - used snoop.
I'm not using any bandwidth limiting parameter. 

Can anybody give any pointers or hints?  I tried searching the archives but
was unable to get anything meaningful. 

Thanks. 

Rene
