    Hi,

     

    Your issue is caused by PBX. PBX caches hostname entries but you can, and should clear it with

    bpclntcmd -clear_host_cache (run it a fews times and then run bpclntcmd -self).

    Then you should also do this for the media servers as their cache would still reflect the primary sites name. If you're running unix/linux and have remote execution (ssh) on all systems you could probably put it all in the preonline script.

    You should put this into a pre online script so it runs before the NetBackup starts in either site, or do it manually during switch over to the remote site.
