Brad,
I'm not sure how you got that server in the state it was in. It's very
common and (too) easy to do.
Perhaps you cut from all submaps instead of deleting.... who knows :)
In any case, the SmartSet trick will find it, if it exists in the Object
Database and allow you to delete it.
Locate will not find it if it does not exist in the Map Database.
ovtopofix -r , and as Scott mentioned, ovwdbdmap -d are UNSUPPORTED
options that could
also be used to purge the object from the topology and object databases
respectively.
I have used ovtopofix -r successfully for years. I avoid any incantation
of ovwdbdmap.
Syntax is:
ovtopofix -r [Selection Name | object# ]
ovwdbdmap -d [Selection Name | object# ]
Avoid both of these if the SmartSet trick works for you.

Subject: RE: [NV-L] Missing object
That did the trick!
I am still somewhat confused as to why that worked. I created a smartset
for that IP address. When I clicked "OK" Netview returned that there
were no objects with that IP address would I like to create the smartset
anyway. I answered yes, went into that smartset and there was the server I
was looking for. I deleted it and Netview rediscovered it.
I guess my question is, how did the Smartset find it?

Here's a trick that I use.
Create a SmartSet specifically for that object.
Then open the SmartSet and delete it.
I have used this at sites where stopping netmon and running ovtopofix was
not an option without a maintenance window.

Subject: [NV-L] Missing object
Netview 7.1 for NT
I have an object that I can not find on my map and I can not force Netview
to discover it ( I put it in the seedfile ).
If I run "ovtopodump hostname" I see an entry for that object. How do I
remove this object from the
database so Netview can rediscover it or how do I force it to show up on
the map?
Thanks in advance for your help!
