What is the network address on the GigE, and on the old ethernet? If they're both on the same network, TCP/IP will ship packets out on the low-numbered host-address interface, IIRC.
To use two NICs you need to have two networks. My primary SAP DB server has a bundle -- backup1 GigE 192.168.194.62 255.255.255.0 backup2 GigE 192.168.195.62 255.255.255.0 public 100Mb 10.8.224.25 255.255.0.0 admin 100Mb 192.168.193.62 255.255.255.0 private 100Mb 192.168.192.62 255.255.255.0 These are all seperate networks (and I have a few more -- hacmp standby adapters, on two more networks); traffic does not route between any of them, and I have no problems using the gig-e for backup/restore.

I've specified TCPCLIENTADDRESS in the dsm.sys file, stopped and started the deamon (for giggles) and then logged into the TSM server. When I issue the command q node xxxxx f=d, the TCP/IP Address shows up as the old fast ethernet address. Any suggestions/help. Regards, Joe
