Shot in the dark here. Have you checked WINS? We have a *very* annoying
issue here where old WINS records take precedence over DNS via the "WINS
lookup" functionality in DNS. We normally have to tombstone the record
in WINS and clear the DNS cache to resolve.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Where is my IP hiding?

Hi All

Am running a NetBackup 7.1 testbed on Windows. VMware has decided it's 
time to change my IP address so I have updated the hosts file on the 
master server.

NetBackup now absolutely refuses to work after several reboots. I can 
ping my master server by name, and forward and reverse lookups go to the

correct IP address.

It seems that problem is that any EMM type commands still have the old 
IP somewhere, and I'm getting status 334 (EMM Initialization Failed) 
when I run pretty much anything.

When I run netstat -a I see several SYN_SENT connections to the old IP 
(pbx port) that is no longer relevant.

I've had a quick look through the NBU parts of the Registry but can't 
find anything.

Where is this IP coming from? I'm pretty sure it's not the highly 
annoying new netbackup IP cache as I have rebooted several times.

Cheers
James
