systems moved to new IP and now can't find drives


Recommended Posts

Our server, several clients and the NAS drives moved to a new building on the "other side" of the VLAN they used to be on. As a result, they all have new IP addresses. I have several "issues" that I can't seem to resolve that are related to those changes...

 

A little environment data to start...

The server is running Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard.

The retrospect version is 7.7.562

The clients are running a variety of Windows, mostly XP and 7.

The NAS device is a Buffalo Link Station (LS-Q4.0TL/R5) with Firmware V1.05

 

The server is IP 10.2.1.128

The NAS is IP 10.2.1.119

The clients are all 10.2.1.{mumble}

 

I can mount the NAS device in WIndows explorer.

 

When "proactive" backup is running, when it gets to any of the clients, the status is "Waiting for storage media"

 

If I look at the "Backup set", click on the "members" tab and then properties, it's still looking at the old IP address (10.1.2.117) of the NAS device. If I try and change the member properties to point to the new IP address, it pops up a message box that says

 

"Sorry, server login failed, error -1116, can't access network volume)

server: 10.1.2.117

volume: backupshare

user: retrospect

 

Please try using Explorer to connect."

 

How do I tell retrospect to stop looking at the old IP address and start looking at the new IP address (or mapped drive letter, which also fails).

 

Thanks!

Bruce
