A range does not guarantee discovery, but rather limits it to addresses within
the range.  You will want to add the IP addresses of at least one actual machine
in the subnets which you haven't found yet.  New node discovery works on the
principle that the arp cache of known machines will contain addresses of unknown
ones.

You might want to review the on-line doc on seed files, just type in dtext  from
the command line, assuming you have sourced the Tivoli environment ( .
/etc/Tivoli/setup_env.sh ) first.   You can search all the books dynamically but
most of what you want is in NetView Installation and Configuration.

Subject:  using IP ranges in seedfile




Hi,
I'm a newbie on this list, but already have a question. We have several NV
installations, all using seedfiles, and all works fine. But on a new
installation we tried to use ip ranges (192.168.10.4-253) in the seedfile. The
problem is, that it dosvered just 2 ranges which are in the seedfile.
any suggestions?

Thanks

Adrian
