adding a 2nd NIC to master NBU cannot connect to clients

NBU 7.7.3

master/media server is RHEL 6.3

i'm added a 2nd NIC to the master server with a different VLAN. eth0 is VLAN 10. eth2 is VLAN 12.

from OS level, i can ping every server either from master or from client. be it VLAN 10 or VLAN12.

from NBU tool using "bpclntcmd" i can resolve both hostname and ip address correctly. either from master or client.

but from NBU java console, "Host Properties/Clients", i cannot connect to servers on VLAN 12. only on VLAN 10.

i have restart NBU on client and master to no avail.

anything else i may have missed to check?

    Have you added SERVER entries on master, media server(s) and client(s) on vlan12 for the master server hostname on this vlan?

    So, if you have hostnames and IPs like this:

    192.168.10.1  masterv10
    192.168.10.2  client1v10
    192.168.10.3  client2v10

    192.168.12.1  masterv12
    192.168.12.2  client1v12
    192.168.12.3  client2v12

    You will need SERVER entries like these on the master and clients on v12 (same if you have media servers on both networks):

    SERVER = masterv10
    SERVER = masterv12

    i found the problem and it's the routing table in the master server.

    somehow with rhel 6.3, it behaves erratically on the networking part. wish i could upgrade it to rhel 7.5

    anyways, thanks for the reply.
