NetView is easy to recover.  It is the Framework which is difficult.

If the IP address or hostname of NetView has been changed, start the
daemons and run /usr/OV/service/reset-ci.
That should do it.

Vladimir Petr just posted some thoughts on the Framework yesterday, but it
seems to depend on where the TMR server is and whether it is up.  I cannot
help you there.  Consult the Framework doc as he suggests:

Mark,
to change the TMR server ip address, you will have to run "odadmin odlist
change_ip" or "odadmin odlist add_ip_alias"
commands on the server. Anycase, look at the Framework planning and
installation guide, there is a section dealing
specifically with this issue. Also, man odadmin will show you the commands.

For NetView, you must update the ORS database by running the
/usr/OV/service/reset_ci script (when netmon and
snmpCollect and GUIs are down) after you changed the ip address. Then
ovstop and ovstart the daemons.

Hope this helps,
Best regards,
Vladimir.

Subject:  Recovering from Hostname Change





Hi,

In the event that a customer changes their hostname without taking the
normal prescribed steps, what are the options?   The platform I am
referring to is Solaris 2.6 running Netview V5.1.  I would be interested

in knowing of ways of performing the following:-

1.  Recovering the Framework element.
2.  The steps for belatedly recovering on the Netview side of things -
please note that I don't mind if it is easiest to regenerate the maps
and databases from scratch.

Thanks in advance,
