Hi
list,
I'm having a poke
around with MLM's in a lab & need a few pointers - alternatively it
could just be Friday brain fade...
Environment: My lab
has a Linux Netview 7.1.3+fp1 and w2k MLM. Netview reports that the MLM is
up so I've obviously done something right (!)
Questions:
1. Can anyone point
me to any docs on mlm for NT? I'm using the MLM Users guide, but it only
mentions installing it & using a supported unix to manage it through
smconfig. When I browsed the MLM mib initially I noticed comments about
"Netview for NT not installed, discovery and thresholding not available" which
doesn't sound great. From the docs it seems I can delegate all this
stuff?
2. I know there is no MLM support for Linux, but I'm not clear
about the detail of that statement. Does this mean I can't use snmpset
(since there is no smconfig) from a Linux netview to configure an NT MLM
& have that NT MLM take on management functions in the same way it would if
I had an AIX Netview? If I can't then that would make my lab a well
flogged dead horse ;-)
3. I've noticed
comments in the MLM mib tables about discovery sensor is not supported on NT,
but any kind of restricted functionality doesn't seem to be mentioned in the
docs - have I been reading with my eyes closed again or are there
restrictions?
4. Is there a fp1
for the mlm? Maybe a magic switch on the fp1 installer to extract that
bit??
5. Would I get more
out of my NT MLM if I had a full w2k Netview on the MLM machine - sounds a
little odd to me but nonetheless possible..
Any help
appreciated....
