All,
As Frantsen responded, this file is written by netmon where it
writes data about node up/down status. If you are using TDS then you need
to copy this file to machine where TDS is installed (TDS is available on
NT only). You have to run the program called availHelper.exe against this
file, this program will transfer all of the data into the database (any
relational database supported by NetView/TDS). You can then use TDS to
generate node availability report.

I just tried it in our test environment and it's just a txt file you can
read, assuming you know
what all the stuff means =)
Does anyone have a description of what the columns in the file means? I have
figured out
most of it i think but not all.
This is what I got when i tried it, as far as I can tell the first column is
some kind of reference
number to that particular node. The second column looks like an
"action-type" (-1=down, 1=up, etc)
I got the two bottom rows when i pulled the plug on one of the units. <ref
number> <up/down> <unixtime>
322278790 2 <hostname> 137709730
322278786 2 <hostname> 66219970
322278785 2 <hostname> 66219971
322278790 -1 956762111
322278790 1 956764835
The only thing I haven't figured out is the 4'th column of the first lines.

Is this variable only relevant if using TDS? Or can these created
availability files be viewed without TDS?

James,
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I was setting up
NMAVAILABILITY in a different file. For those who have NetView 6.0 running
on Solaris 2.7, the NMAVAILABILITY needs to be set in /etc/init.d/netnmrc
file after the first four line added by NetView install (PATH setup).

How did you set up your variable?
It must be set before any daemons are started, so that ovspmd gets it. All
the
other daemons inherit from him.

Subject: [NV-L] Netmon Availability Files
Hello All,
I am running NetView 6.0 on Solaris 2.7. Does anyone know why Netmon
is not generating Availability files even though I have setup an
environment variable NMAVAILABILITY=ON ? Those who are using TDS
might know about this.
Thanks in advance
