I have seen cases where the object had stale records in ovwdb and no entry
in the topology where no amount of clean up helped. The record usually
only has two fields set: "Selection Name" and "IP Hostname". Difficult to
delete, but there are ways.
Other than that if you are trying to delete the object from all maps, make
sure and stop netmon then open all the maps in read-write and delete the
device with all maps open. Once you are sure that the device is nolonger
in the DB (ovtopodump and ovobjprint), try adding it back using the
preferred IP address and restarting netmon/autodiscovery.

Mr. Hustace and Mr. Hochstetler,
Thank you very much for your replies and assistance. It is most helpful.
Unfortunately, I have tried everythingsuggested with the exception of
double checking useing the ovtopodump or ovobjprint that the name is
actually delted. I guess I have far too much faith in these systems. Mea
Culpa. I even went so far as to delete from all maps, stop the netmon
daemon, perform an ovtopofix -a, and then stop all daemons before
completely restarting Netview. What do you think happened - YOU ARE SO
RIGHT. There the darn thing was, slapping me in the face. I am totally
confused at this point. I will perform the checks as suggested and report
back.
Thanks again,
Mike

Did you try deleting the device (make sure it is deleted with ovtopodump or
ovobjprint) then re-adding it?

Goodmorning Listers,
I truely hope one of you can lead me down the right path. I have an object
that was discovered under one of it's interface names because of a legacy
DNS entry. I am trying my darndest to correct this issue. I have
attempted to do the "Modify" bit from the GUI pulldown, I have ensured that
the seedfiles and etc.hosts files are correct (ie. no reference to this
devices interface), stoped netmon and run ovtopofix, stopped all daemons
and restarted OV. Oh yes, I have ensured that the only reference in DNS is
to the primary device and loopback interface IP address. I have demand
polled and snmpwalked till I am blue in the face. Nothing works. What
have I overlooked? What have I done wrong? Has anybody experienced this
before? How did you correct it?
Thanks to all,
Mike
