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. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Justin Piszcz Sent: Monday, May 07, 2007 12:28 PM To: Shashi Kanth Boddula Cc: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] host name changes 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. Justin.
