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

Funny, I ran into this yesterday, and removing
and re-installing the client did the trick for me. NBU 7.0.1 on AIX
master here.
Clearing the cache seems to be a more
elegant solution, though. :-)

Yep - there was a fairly long thread here before where
someone else
complained about applications that do their own name caching saying it
wasn't their job.
By the way this started in 7.01 not 7.1 as I said before. The technote
that tells how to manually delete the cache directory files is:

Jeff,
Arggh, that was it. I thought rebooting cleared the host cache since I
remember reading that restarting NBU processes had the same effect. I
guess not.
That's at least the third time this has bitten me, am starting to
dislike this new feature somewhat. I even mentioned it in my original
email!
Cheers
James
