I have seen individual nodes change when demand poll/config check occurs.
That would be the only way that I can think of for NetView to know about
these changes. By default config check occurs only once daily, so if you
miss it, it might take up to 48 hours.

Subject:  Automatic change of labels in NetView.





     A customer of ours are running NetView 5.1.1 on AIX.

     We are in the process of changing their DNS structure and thus looking
     at whether NetView changes the label as the names are changed in DNS.

     This is the default behavior of NNM, but doesn't seem to be the case
     for NetView. Is there any way to enable this or do we have to change
     the labels manually?



     Best regards,

     Michael.
