If issue is just a new host on old IP you should be able to add a new
record to DNS (or /etc/hosts) that points the name to the new IP.
NetBackup doesn't store IPs - it does a lookup by name.  

In DNS you can use PTR records to associate alternate names to existing
hosts.   In /etc/hosts you can just add the alternate name as an alias
on the same line where you define the real name.

Ouch.

You need to keep the same hostname, period-- there may be a 'hack'
around 
that but you really want to keep the same hostname.
