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.

Subject:  How do we change which nic on a client adsm contacts?



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?!
