Hi all,
 
Recently a bunch of our servers changed ip addresses. Their new addresses are in a different subnet. These new addresses used to belong to other machines that were taken out of service at the same time the servers assumed their ip addresses. I have tried to discover the servers at the new address, but when I do a demand poll at the server address I get the message that a node already exists in the database for that name. I've deleted the server's objects at their old ip address? Shouldn't that have deleted them from the database as well?
 
Any help would be appreciated!
 
PS. Using Netview 5.1.1, AIX4.3.2
 
Cheers
