Lindy,

This is what exactly I have done in my case at my work place. You need to
tune network settings too!
Yes we can specify second host name address for second Giga Card. What I
have seen is while using smitty for N/W configuration it somehow does not
allow to have same Hostname for two NIC Cards.
At the same time /etc/hosts gets updated with same host name for two ips.

This is what you can do .You can create DNS entry any how for the server
.And edit /etc/hosts accordingly. Use ifconfig to change hostname on second
card. Still if you problem e mail me directly.

Thanks
Balanand Pinni

Hi TSMers,

Sorry for doing this...but does any one know how to configure a gigabit card
on AIX ...my scenario is as follows:-

I want to use the gigabit card purely for tsm backups and for my nfs
mounts......it is on a gigabit switch.....

I am using the en0 at present 10/100mb network....the application will
connect via this card but I need my backups and nfs mounts to connect via
the gigabit card.

Can you specify a second host name on the server for the gigabit card
address ?

Any ideas....????
