For the SNA users the systems will both have the same addressing so that they will lose their sessions, but will come back up on the backup system as soon as the hadware switch is thrown (and this should happen automatically.) The the TCP/IP users you can either change the DNS or you can switch to a backup DNS that as the address of the backup system rather than the primary. And if the 400 is the DNS you probably do want to switch to a backup anyway because of the failure is bad enough to drob DB access chances are good the DNS is or must go down anyway.
