Hello
All...
I have
a newbie question.
I'm in
a situation where one of the net view servers has been neglected for some time
and the map and db is pretty much useless. I have cleaned up the seed file, and
removed as many entries from the host file as I can as we would try to rely on
DNS for resolution as well I have created a Location conf file based on our
ospf areas.
What
I'd like to accomplish is zero out the db's and create a new map
and have fresh db's (start from scratch).
My
question is , do I only need re-gen the map from the admin panel, to
ensure everything is discovered, or do I need to recycle netmon, then do a map
regen ?
My
concern is that we have well over 1000 entries in the seed file (loop back
address of various L2 / L3 devices) and am concerned that the traffic may bring
down the switch or router, we are 7/24 hr shop so no chance of doing
this during maint. windows. Netview is configured to do only local discovery and
seed file, no wild card ranges defined.
The
box is NV 7.1. AIX 4.3.3 on multiple 100 MB nics.
Thanks
in advance
