Subject: Netview DB replication


> I have two independant Netview servers (v4.1.2), and I wish to
> perform a db and map copy from one (primary) to the other (backup)
> after certain weekly updates are performed.  I tried copying all the
> databases under the openview directory but nv6000 complains that the
> maps are from another server.  To get around this I aliased the
> primary server's name for the backup server and removed the primary
> server entry in /etc/hosts and everything worked fine.
>
> My question being is there a more appropriate way to replicate the
> databases from one server to another; my method seems a bit ugly.
> Any help would be greatly appreciated.
