Thank
you Leslie..
Yes, I
do have the need to do a regen.
Is
my worry about any excessive traffic bringing a device down
unwarranted ? The reason why I ask, and am a bit afraid is that
my predecessor attempted to do a full discovery and brought down a
core switch in one of the buildings. Hence I am more careful with my discovery
needs, and setting them up accordingly.
We
have an off site drp server, but it uses is strictly as trap acceptor and
sending alerts. We will not support mapping and db functions in
drp.
Hence
my fear...
Thanks
again,
John
Otherwise, if you want to do a new discovery, the re-gen will stop
netmon and everything else, and go out and rediscover everything, depending on
your discovery settings.

- Auto Map re-gen and Net MON |
|
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 John
