Thanks James. I will trace it.

Yes.  The NetView database contains information about the NetView box itself.  It "knows" its own name and address and where the maps are located.  If you move a backup to another machine, then all that has to be changed before the GUI will come up or the daemon configuration can be modified.  And that's what reset_ci does.  It resets the NetView host specific info in the database to the machine one which they now reside.

Wanna see how it works?  It's a script and you can trace it.

I am transferring Netview database from one server to another server (different IP addresses and hostnames) using nvhotbackup. Do I need to run reset_ci on the server I am restoring on? Thanks.
 
Cheers
