[Networker] New client with old name?

Hi,

Haven't done this in a long time so just wanted to corroborate.

An old RH Linux client was decommissioned. A new RH Linux client nowexists with the same host name and IP address. The same disks have beenmoved to it, so it has the same file systems as before. The clientsoftware has been installed but not yet started. We would like tocontinue using the same CFI as before. Is it a simple matter of removingthe old NSR client resource(s), starting the client software on the newbox and then re-creating the NSR client resource with the same clientid(before applying changes) as before? Is that all?

Oh, one more thing. The client is still listed under Local Hosts (nmc).When I click on it, it tries to connect and then comes back with "Unableto connect to server: Failed to contact using UDP ping". Certainly nosurprise, I'm sure. Most of the client entries under Local Hosts havejust the primary backup server and snode listed, and obviously the NWinstance ID is the same for all the references to the server and snoderespectively. I guess there's a certificate stored on the server thathas to match an entry on the client:/nsr/res/nsrladb entry.

Will it be necessary to delete this Local Hosts entry? How will I beable to do it? Maybe it will get updated automatically once the newclient is started?


Thanks.

George
