1. Offhand, I don't know why the polling option screen doesn't give the correct status. Perhaps someone else does. But I wouldn't worry about it. The GUI has a background process called "nmpolling" which periodically checks whether the required daemons are active and restart them if they are not. But I would not rely on that screen tot tell you anything. Use the status in serversetup. It is more accurate.

2. The usual method is through the GUI. If you want to look at the data externally then you have to use the snmpodump line command to dump and format it. Look it up in the books to get the correct options. And you cannot open the mdb data files while the daemons are running. Isn't that what it told you -- that another process had the files already open?
