Ken is right that you'll need to install the Framework patch for NetView
prior to installing NetView.
Make sure you have adequate free space in the /var filesystem.

As for TIPN, that stands for "Tivoli Integration Pack for NetView" and
allows more integration with TEC and Tivoli Inventory.  If you are not
using those, then TIPN is of no use.

Hello, we're getting ready to upgrade to NetView version 5.1. We are
only interested in network management. I know I need to install the
Tivoli Framework (3.6). Are there any other Tivoli components I need to
or should install? How about TIPN? Thanks.

If I understand what I am reading the following would be the sequence:
1) Tivoli Framework 3.6
2) NetView 5.1
3) TIPN (?)

Thanks.
