NDMP Backup Issue

Hello

We are using Networker version 7.6.2.4 Build 669. I have just migrated a CIFS server to my new CX4-480 running FLARE 04.30.000.5.507 from my old CX3-40f array. We were performing NDMP backups over a backend network between a datamover on the array and an interface on the networker server. moved the link from old array datamover to new array datamover. made sure ip address is correct and route exists on new array. can ping from new array to interface on backup server and from backup server to new array. Old setup once the backup job started the data was sent to the backup server over the private lan so that it didnt interfear with our primary lan. since change the job starts but the data is being sent over our primary lan insted of the private backup lan which is just crushing the network. I have had my EMC contractor double check everything and they cant find anything wrong with the setup. Any other help would be appreaciated.

    You do not need -s , but add rather -P which should point to preferred storage node's interface.

    I assume you use DSA.  Do you use -P switch in backup command.

    the backup command is:

    nsrndmp_save -s 172.17.2.1 -M -T dump

    ndmp is checked

    NDMP array name : huhqfs2

    Application information: DIRECT=Y, HIST=Y, UPDATE=Y
