Re: [nv-l] host added by loadhost loaded into two different MLMs

Not sure I understand your MLM scenario here. Are you saying that bothMLMs are doing status polls for the same nodes? What's in the MLMStatus tables (not just the alias tables). MLMs only do ping polling -they can't do snmp polling - so if one of you MLMs in the other side ofa ping-blocking firewall then he will see the nodes as down.

On servmon - no way does MLM play with servmon.Cheers,

Hi.
We have a Netview 7.1.4 FP2 Solaris 8,connected to two MLM's. Netmon is 
configured to do discovery and polling through MLM
One MLM is running on a separate network behind a firewall.

When we load new hosts by the command loadhost, we see that both MLM load the 
hosts in their configuration (we can see it on the smconfig/MLM Alias Table). 
Thus one MLM reports that the node is up and the second reports that the node 
is down.

Does anyone know what might be going wrong?

Another question, Can Servmon poll services through MLM?.
