Re: discovering a change in ip address??

I wonder if you may have to dump your discovery database and re-discover your 
network ip changes.

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
