I'm running AIX 4.2 with NV5.0 and have serious problems with the daemons.
I have some devices that will at times flood Netview with traps - far too
many for it to handle, and some of the daemons will eventually stop - trapd,
netmon, ovtopmd.  I understand this, per documentation in the Tivoli
knowledge base, and have even attempted to increase the event queue, to no
avail.

My real problem is that, once this flurry is over, I cannot get ovtopmd to
restart shy of a reboot. I get console messages:
"Fatal Topology Error: Unable to connect to ovtopmd
Reason: Cannot connect to server: sys 2: A file or directory in the path
name does not exist."
and
"Fatal Topology Error: Unabale to connect to trapd
Reason: Topology OK -- no error"

Anyone out there seen such a problem or have any suggestions?
