yes. no problem - if your server is  strong enough for optivity 9.

note that optivity 9 is not supported with netview 6 (that means you can't
open a PMR with nortel). moreover optivity 9 has a lot of differences
compared to the "old" versions. thus, if you want to wait a while you could
download 8.1.1 from support.nortelnetworks.com. It has all the device
support one needs now. 

to make your decision more complicated: nortel does NOT support 8.1.1 for
AIX 4.3.2...

hope that helps
regards, richard

Betreff: [NV-L] Netview 6 and Optivity 9


We are upgrading our Netview 4.1 for AIX to version 6.  We are also using
Optivity NMS 8.1 from Nortel Networks.

Nortel shipped us the latest version, 9.0.1. Officially, Optivity 9 needs
Netview 5.1. However, Tivoli Belgium won't sell Netview 5.x anymore.

Has anyone tried the combination Netview 6 & Optivity 9 ? 

All info is welcome.

Sincerely,
Davy Goris
