With 7.1 NBU is now doing its own caching of names/ips.
Relevant commands:
bpclntcmd -hn <hostname> = Shows what IP it thinks the host has
bpclntcmd -ip <IP Address> = Shows what name it thinks is associated
with the host.
bpclntcmd -self = Shows what hostname/IP it thinks the host you are on
has.
bpclntcmd -clear_host_cache = Clears the cache.
There is a technote about this that also tells you how to delete the
cache files completely if the above command doesn't help. I find
clearing the cache with the command seems to work well.

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.

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
