I've seen a couple of these cases recently, but they always seem to correct
themselves if I delete them. It might help to stop netmon before you delete
them,
to prevent netmon from starting to make them again before you get to the
ovtopofix. Also, take a look in netmon.trace and see if it is reporting any
wierd things. I've started seeing more and more information in there
lately.
Does ovmapcount -a or -b give anything interesting? .

Subject:  nodes discovered without interfaces





Nothing to really worry about (so far) but still annoying:
Currently i've got 3 nodes (1 NT-Server, 2 sun's)
showing  up WITHOUT ANY interface.
ovobjprint tells me: 19 IP Status Unknown(1) 104 TopM Interface Count 0
ovtopodump tells me: STATUS: Unknown NUMBER OF INTERFACES:0
Besides, these nodes show up in collections only,
they DO NOT exist on any map.
"Dozens" of delete-from-all-maps and ovtopofix's did not help,
these three nodes are just re-discovered without interfaces...
Discovery of "lots of other stuff" in the same networks is perfectly OK.
So what could be special/wrong with just those three?
Running AIX4.2 NV5.1 Framework3.6
Any ideas?
Regards, Ralph.
