Further confusion... OV_Node_Down_Unix is not a class that is used
by Netview by default. So it must be one your site added specially.
Be careful not to confuse the name of the trap or its meaning, with the
CLASS assigned to it for T/EC purposes. If you look in the trapd.conf
you will see that  Netview node up and node down traps are both of
the class OV_Node_Down, with different status values. So check your
trapd.conf and see what traps are included in the class OV_Node_Down_Unix.
(Or if it even comes from Netview.) That should tell you which trap has to
be
sent to clear it. Beyond that you have to look to your T/EC rules. That
will be
a custom one as well.

Huh?  I'm confused.  58916865 is Node down, not Node Up.  Node Up in
58916864.  If your Node Down is not followed by Node Up then it will not
clear the TEC console (which is a TEC issue really and not a NetView one).

Hello Everyone.

I manage a 6.0.1 NetView server running on AIX 4.3.3.

What is the difference between the 2 subject node down events? I had the
specific interface down trap 58916867 occur at 8:19 this morning. Then the
node down specific trap 59816865 trap followed. By the next status poll
cycle a minute later I had a specific interface up 58916866 trap and a
specific node up trap 58916865 occur. I spoke with the server admins. and
there was a brief outage at the time.

TEC showed an OV_Node_Down_Unix event for the first node down trap but
never
cleared with the (58916865) node up trap. I even sent node up traps through
the Server Setup/Diagnose menu.

Earlier in the day, a node down occurred with another non-Unix device. It
was simply reported as OV_Node_Down. The subsequent node up cleared or
closed the TEC alert.


Thanks in advance.
