James i came from another company and the Tivoli Systems already were installed
here. Im configuring all Tivoli software here, one by one. Now i´ve started to
custumise the Netview and i noticed that the netmon do not start. This is not a
new installation and i don´t know when the netview stop to work or if it was
working fine before. On this machine runs some critical software for the
company (really they built a wrong architecture for the Tivoli servers, and i
will describe later) and is very difficult to stop some applications for debug
netview. I understood your recommendation about call the support but as you see
i have some problems because they put a lot o programs just in one machine, i
know that this is not recommended but they did.
Machine configuration
Software
Windows 2000 SP4
Netview 7.1.3
Managed Node
TSM 5.1.5
DB2 EE
TEC 3.8
Symantec EE (Mangens about 5000 Norton clients)
Hardware
4 GB RAM
4 Xeon 700Mhz
Raid 5 Disk Array
Thanks in advance
Demis

I'm not trying to suggest that you shouldn't seek help. But if I thought some
other user had seen this before, or that there was an easy answer, I wouldn't
have sent you to Support. The error message you mentioned, "cannot open icmp
socket" is not a common one, and should not occur on a properly configured
system. But you say you have rebooted several times, and yet when you start
netmon with ovstart or the nvsetup GUI , you still get the "cannot open icmp
socket" message? Correct?
Let's back up and get some history here. This is not a new installation, is
it? You have had NetView running for some time, and then suddenly you started
getting this message? Have you installed other software after NetView? Have you
tried using the Task Manager to stop other programs to see whether something
else has the socket netmon is requesting? Basically, that's the issue. It's
getting a bad return code from the Windows OS trying to do a socket call. But
why that should be, I haven't any idea.

[nv-l] Re: [nv-l] Re: [nv-l] Re: [nv-l] Netmon doesn ´t start
Yes i told about the memory problem for the support. I already rebooted the
machine, i already use the trace and read all logs from the /usr/ov/logs.
Answering you question, i expect that someone in this group have already had
this problem and got to fix it. That´s why i posted more one information!

That's not a valid test. That will happen on any Windows system, even one
where netmon starts normally. The OVsInitComplete fails because the process was
not started by ovspmd, the process which normally starts all the daemons by the
command "ovstart". If ovspmd does not the start the daemon but you do instead,
then there is no connection between them and the OVsInitComplete fails as a
result.
I'm not certain what you expect to gain by posting this here. If you have
rebooted and netmon still fails to start, then it is unlikely that another user
can help you. That's why I sent you to Support. You said you were having some
unspecified sort of memory problems with this box before the trouble started.
Did you tell Support about those?

I made some snmp get in my snmp and it returns positive results to me.
Yesterday we have problems of memory with this server, and today the netmon
doesn´t start. Very strange this situation, but i will call the IBM Support.
tks!

Reboot. If that doesn't work, call Support.
If my memory serves me, that would mean that netmon is trying to open the
socket reserved for him in <windows_path>/etc/services, and Windows won't do
it, giving him a bad return code. So netmon cannot communicate with anyone.
How do you know your SNMP works fine?
