If you restored your backup to a replacement partition image with a different platform number or partition number than the original partition, be sure to modify the IP addresses of the partition (on the FM LAN, the IP-LAN secure fabric, other secure fabrics, and so on) from what was captured during the backup to the current values used by the Fabric Manager for the replacement partition image. Refer to the summary page of the partition in the Fabric Manager user interface for the IP addresses assigned to the partition image on the various LANs and secure fabrics. If your application environment has the old IP addresses configured within it, be sure to reconfigure so that your application can communicate properly with the new partition.

If the backup was restored to a different physical environment—for example, to a different physical platform or NIC port configuration—be sure to examine the operating system settings for all network interfaces, and, if necessary, reconfigure for the new environment.
