Your operators should be logged off during this procedure!    You should not be
running ovmapcount or ovtopofix with a GUI open in the first place.   You need
to close them, especially the read-write map, and restart them AFTER the
procedure so that ipmap will synchronize the maps with what's in the topology
database.   Even if you leave the read-only maps open, their statuses may not be
correct until the read-write one synchronizes.

And the answer is "No, you cannot disable the warning"  It is there precisely
because people need to be warned that the  status they are viewing is incorrect
and cannot be relied upon.

You really need to establish a different procedure.

Subject:  disable "netmon is not running..."-Dialog




Is there a way to prevent NetView from display the "netmon is not running
..." dialog ?

We clean our databases via cron regularly with ovtopofix and ovwmapcount,
and we stop netmon while this procedure takes place.
It would be nice if no warning would apear. Our operators are always a bit
confused about the netmon warning ...
