Product Notes 

Introduction

This document provides important information about Tivoli NetView for UNIX,
Version 6.0.2. These notes are the most current information for the product
and take precedence over all other documentation. Please note that the
version of Tivoli NetView described is an upgrade to Tivoli NetView for UNIX
V6.0 or Tivoli NetView for UNIX V6.0.1, and presumes that one of those two
products is already installed and working in the customer's environment.

This document, together with the Tivoli NetView for UNIX V6.0 Release Notes,
and the Tivoli NetView for UNIX Installation and Configuration, Version 6.0
book, provides all of the necessary information for planning and performing
the installation of Tivoli NetView for UNIX V6.0.2. Please review all notes
thoroughly before installing or using this product. 

New Features

The following information describes new and changed functionality that has
been incorporated into the Tivoli NetView for UNIX product since the Tivoli
NetView for UNIX V6.0 release: 

QuickTest

QuickTest is an enhanced ping tool that polls all managed interfaces and
quickly determines the complete status of the node. QuickTest displays the
ifAdminStatus and ifOperStatus of each interface for nodes that use SNMP to
poll for status. For all other nodes, QuickTest displays the ping result for
each interface. If the status of an interface has changed, the map is
updated and an event is sent.

QuickTest is available from the NetView console and NetView Web client by
selecting Test->QuickTest or Test->QuickTest Critical. You must have one or
more nodes selected to access the QuickTest menus. The Test->QuickTest
Critical menu item only polls interfaces that are currently marked as down.
The Test->QuickTest menu item polls all interfaces, regardless of their
current status.

You can also run QuickTest from the command line. The QuickTest command has
the following syntax:

quicktest nodelist [-z] [-P] [-F]

where nodelist specifies one or more nodes to be polled. This may be either
a single node name or a list of nodes separated by spaces or tabs.

Other options include:

 

-z

Only poll down interfaces.

-P

Use ping instead of SNMP requests to poll SNMP status nodes.

-F

Send an event for all polled interfaces, regardless of whether there is a
status change. Normally, an event is only sent when the status has changed. 

Demand Poll Enhancements

During periods when the netmon daemon is busy, such as during initial
discovery or during bursts of status or configuration polling, it is not
uncommon for a demandpoll request to fail with a message that netmon was too
busy to perform the operation. The netmon daemon has been enhanced to give
demandpoll and quicktest operations priority, resulting in fewer such
failures. 

Loadhosts Enhancement

The loadhosts utility now provides the capability to add new interfaces as
Unmanaged.

The input file for the loadhosts command specifies the interfaces to be
created in the NetView databases. A new token ! can be added to the
beginning of entries in this file to indicate that they should be created as
Unmanaged. This option overrides the -d switch on the loadhosts command line
(which specifies to create all interfaces as down).

In the following sample loadhost input file, the interface 14.8.2.100 is
created as Unmanaged:

!14.8.2.100 myrouter.ibm.com myroute

When using this loadhosts capability, the netmon -l switch should be set to
create new nodes as managed. You can do this on the netmon configuration
page of Server Setup. 

Unsolicited Generic Traps

The netmon daemon now dynamically verifies and sets the status for the node
or interface when it receives the following generic traps: Warm Start, Cold
Start, Link Down, and Link Up. 

Acknowledged Status Import/Export Capabilities

With the existing map-based behavior for Acknowledge, operators on client
machines must refresh the map to be notified that objects have been
acknowledged or unacknowledged. The acknowledged action is map-based and
only affects the current map. Also, acknowledging objects on read-only maps
is not persistent; restarting the console clears all the acknowledged
statuses. In addition, you cannot set the Acknowledged status from the
command line.

A new global-based mode for Acknowledge is available in Tivoli NetView for
UNIX V6.0.1. When global-based mode is set, the Acknowledged status is an
object attribute. All NetView clients are notified when an object is
acknowledged or unacknowledged immediately, regardless of which map is open
and even if the action is performed on a read-only map. In addition, the
Acknowledged status can be set on an object from the command line,
permitting the transfer of the Acknowledged status to backed up NetView
databases.

By default, the behavior for Acknowledged remains map-based. However, you
can set an environment variable to activate the new global-based behavior
for individual clients. You may want the old behavior for some clients and
the new behavior for others. For instance, you may have NetView client users
who do not need to see objects being acknowledged by the network operations
center. 

Global-based Mode

This section describes the global-based mode in more detail.

To activate the global-based mode, set the environment variable
NVMAPGLOBALACK equal to 1 on the NetView machine. It must be set before you
invoke the NetView console.

You can acknowledge an object using one of three methods. The first, from
the map, uses the graphical user interface. The other two methods, from an
event or through nvdbimport, allow users greater control of the Acknowledged
state outside of the graphical user interface.

>From the Map. To acknowledge a map object, select the object and choose
Monitor->Acknowledge to set the field isAcknowledged to TRUE for that object
and generate an event to update all open maps (local or NFS) connected to
the NetView server. If a NetView console running in global-based mode starts
up later, the object shows as Acknowledged.

>From an event. To acknowledge an object from the command line, type:

event -b openview -e event -a object ID

Where event is either ACK_EV (acknowledge event) or UNACK_EV (unacknowledge
event), and object ID is the object ID of the object to be acknowledged in
the OVW database. For more information on this command, see the event man
page.

This event sets the status of the specified object to Acknowledged on all
open maps where the object's status is CRITICAL or MARGINAL. It also sets
the Acknowledged field to TRUE in open NetView maps. If no NetView sessions
are running in global-based mode, this field is not set. If Netview consoles
running in global-based mode start up later, the object shows as
acknowledged.

Using nvdbimport. To directly set the Ovw database field isAcknowledged for
chosen objects, use nvdbimport. See the nvdbimport man page for more
details.

Export/Import Utility for Acknowledged Status

You can review an example of using the event-based approach to set the
acknowledged state in the sample import/export utility script
/usr/OV/bin/acknowledgeUtil.

To use the script, type:

acknowledgeUtil -export -map mapname > filename

acknowledgeUtil - import < filename

A complete description of the arguments is given at the top of the script.

Only Critical and Marginal objects are changed to Acknowledged. Attempts to
Acknowledge normal objects during the import operation are silently ignored.


Ping and SNMP Timeout Values

The netmon daemon no longer dynamically adjusts the ping and SNMP timeout
values. These values remain as configured in the SNMP Options dialog. 

Router Fault Isolation Automatically Enabled

The Router Fault Isolation feature (also known as Event Suppression) is now
active by default in NetView. Router Fault Isolation attempts to
differentiate between nodes that are actually down and nodes that are simply
unreachable when the router servicing them is down. For a detailed
explanation of Router Fault Isolation, see the description in
/usr/OV/doc/RouterFaultIsolation.htm . If this feature is not desired, you
can turn it off using the -K 0 option for netmon.

This option has the following syntax:

-K 0 | 1

 

0

Turn Router Fault Isolation OFF

1

Turn Router Fault Isolation ON. This is the default.

To turn this feature off, add -K 0 to the netmon.lrf file and enter the
following commands:

/usr/OV/bin/ovstop netmon

/usr/OV/bin/ovdelobj /usr/OV/lrf/netmon.lrf

/usr/OV/bin/ovaddobj /usr/OV/lrf/netmon.lrf

/usr/OV/bin/ovstart netmon 

Reduced Polling to Routers

As a part of the Router Fault Isolation feature, a new option -k 2 has been
added to netmon to prevent status polling to any router with a current
status of Unreachable.

If this option is used, it may be necessary to manually ping a node in an
occluded area to start recovery for some isolated routers.

This option has following syntax:

-k 0 | 1 | 2

0

Don't suppress any pings or SNMP requests.

1

Suppress pings and all SNMP requests to non-routers in Unreachable nodes.
This is the default.

2

Suppress pings and all SNMP requests to Unreachable routers.

To prevent status polling to any routers whose current status is
Unreachable, add -k 2 to the netmon.lrf file and enter the following
commands:

/usr/OV/bin/ovstop netmon

/usr/OV/bin/ovdelobj /usr/OV/lrf/netmon.lrf

/usr/OV/bin/ovaddobj /usr/OV/lrf/netmon.lrf

/usr/OV/bin/ovstart netmon 

HSRP Interface Enhancements

The netmon daemon now allows customers to decide whether or not to use MAC
addresses found in the ARP tables to determine whether an interface is HSRP.
In previous releases of Tivoli NetView V6, the default netmon action was to
identify HSRP interfaces defined explicitly in the netmon seed file, and
then try to identify additional HSRP interfaces by looking for HSRP MAC
addresses in the ARP tables. In Tivoli NetView V6.0.2, netmon assumes all
HSRP interfaces are explicitly defined in the netmon seed file unless the
netmon -V option is given. If the -V option is given, netmon uses the same
algorithm for determining HSRP interfaces as in previous releases, looking
in both the netmon seed file and in the ARP tables.

Do not enable this option if you have HSRP routers with proxy ARP enabled.
Doing so will cause proxied ARP table entries to be icorrectly identified as
HSRP interfaces which will later need to be automatically deleted, causing
unwanted database and trap activity. 

Redundant Gateway Support

The netmon daemon has been enhanced to support redundant gateways. Commonly,
redundant gateways are implemented as duplicate interfaces on multiple
routers rather than a virtual interface as in HSRP. Previously, redundant
gateways were reported as duplicate IP addresses. By placing the redundant
interface in the netmon seed file and prefixing it with the HSRP flag (e.g.
%192.168.0.1), the interface will be treated as an redundant interface
rather than an interface with an erroneously defined duplicate IP address.
The active router will then be HSRP polled. 

Collecting MLM MIB Variables Synchronously

Mid-Level Manager for UNIX has added a new threshold environment variable
@sync which allows you to collect MIB variables synchronously (all at the
same time). For example,

@sync(MIB1, MIB2, MIB3...)

In the above example wildcarding is allowed. To collect a MIB variable from
several hosts:

@sync(host1:MIB1, host2:MIB1, ...) or

@sync(alias1:MIB1, alias2:MIB2, ...) or

alias:@sync(MIB1,MIB2)

However, MIB variable expressions such as the one shown below are not
supported:

@sync(MIB1, @sum(MIB2, MIB3), MIB4) or

@sync(MIB1 + MIB2)

Thresholding is allowed but the USER SHOULD BE AWARE that the thresholding
applies against ALL of the MIB variables regardless of type.

The results are placed in the MLM Threshold Results table. The results of
the first MIB variable is located by its Name in the Threshold Results
table. The results of each successive MIB variable is located by its Name
concatenated with a unique number id -n- where n is a number. 

Event Correlation Upgrades

The Action Node defines a set of environment variables describing the event
for use by the command to be executed. The NVATTR_1, NVATTR_2... variables
describe the variable bindings. A new environment variable NVATTR_COUNT is
defined as containing the number of variable bindings passed to actionsvr;
those include the varbindings of the trap, and three appended to the end of
the list automatically - the trap category, source, and severity. In
addition, all the NVATTR_n variables (n is from 1 to 50) are unset prior to
being defined for each event so stale data is removed. If a variable binding
is defined but empty, the corresponding environment variable NVATTR_n is set
to "" 

Improved NetView Client Synchronization

The map synchronization process between the NetView client and server has
been enhanced to improve the synchronization time of client maps. 

Additional MIBS and Traps

Thirty-one SNMP V1 versions of selected Cisco MIBs and two additional SNMP
V1 MIBs have been added to NetView in the /usr/OV/snmp_mibs subdirectory,
and the cisco.readme has been expanded. NetView users may find these useful
with snmpCollect.

A new trapd.conf has been provided in
/usr/OV/newconfig/OVSNMP-RUN/trapd.conf which contains forty-seven new
enterprises and one hundred and nine new traps, added for Cisco and Novell
devices.

Use nvaddtrapdconf to merge it with your existing trapd.conf via the
following commands:

cd /usr/OV/conf/C

cp trapd.conf trapd.conf.orig

nvaddtrapdconf /usr/OV/newconfig/OVSNMP-RUN/trapd.conf

System Requirements

In addition to the requirements described in the Tivoli NetView for UNIX
Installation and Configuration, Version 6.0 manual, the Tivoli NetView for
UNIX V6.0.2 installation temporarily requires an additional 150 Mb of disk
space in /usr/OV during the installation, and will use 40 Mb more of disk
space in /usr/OV after the installation is complete. 

Installation Notes

Execute the "snapshot" function of the nvpatch script, found in the /BCK
directory of the Tivoli NetView for UNIX V6.0.2 installation media, on each
system containing a NetView server or client. For information on how to use
this script, see the README file found in the /BCK directory.

Install the Tivoli NetView for UNIX V6.0.2 Server Patch on all machines
running the Tivoli NetView V6.0.2 Server:

On the Desktop menu of the Tivoli Framework graphical user interface, click
on Install -> Install Patch and select Tivoli NetView Server V6.0.2 Patch
6.0-NVS-0002. Read each panel completely and correct any reported problems
before proceeding.

Verify that the patch installed successfully and that all daemons and
application are working correctly by examining the log files in the /tmp
directory, specifically the update.log file and any 6.0-NVS-0002_BIN_after.*
files. Search the update.log file for the following strings:

SEV_

ERROR

WARNING

and correct any errors associated with the strings.

If an error occurred during the patch installation process, there will be a
6.0-NVS-0002_BIN_after.error file in the /tmp directory; if no error
occurred, then there will be a 6.0-NVS-0002_BIN_after.debug file in the /tmp
directory.

If a patch installation fails or a severity 1 or severity 2 error occurs,
the reported problem must be corrected and the installation repeated. Prior
to re-performing the patch installation, do one of the following:

Perform the nvpatch script "backout" function (see the README file found in
the /BCK directory of the Tivoli NetView for UNIX V6.0.2 installation
media).

Remove the appropriate patch flag files stored within the Tivoli Framework
for the patch whose installation failed. The appropriate flag files are
listed in the table below. The $BINDIR environment variable is set by the
Tivoli Framework setup script found in the /etc/Tivoli directory.

Patch Type

Flag Files

Server

$BINDIR/.installed/pa_6.0-NVS-0002_BIN

$BINDIR/../../msg_cat/.installed/pa_6.0-NVS-0002_CAT

$BINDIR/../.installed/pa_6.0-NVS-0002_CNFTAR

$BINDIR/../.installed/pa_6.0-NVS-0002_TAR

Client

$BINDIR/.installed/pa_6.0-NVC-0002_BIN

$BINDIR/../../msg_cat/.installed/pa_6.0-NVC-0002_CAT

Database

$BINDIR/.installed/pa_6.0-NVD-0002_BIN

 

Once the patch installation has been attempted, Tivoli NetView is in an
unknown state and may not execute correctly until either the nvpatch script
"backout" function has been executed, or the patch installs successfully.

In the same manner as described for the server, install and verify the
installation of the Tivoli NetView for UNIX V6.0.2 Client Patch on each of
the client machines.

Please note that the installation window(s) from the server installation (in
the previous step) MUST BE CLOSED prior to beginning the client patch
installation; otherwise, the client installation will fail with several
Tivoli Framework error messages.

If the patch installation succeeds, there will be a
6.0-NVC-0002_BIN_after.debug file in the /tmp directory; if it did not, then
a 6.0-NVC-0002_BIN_after.error file will exist in the /tmp directory which
contains a description of the failure.

In the same manner as described for the server, install and verify the
installation of the Tivoli NetView for UNIX V6.0.2 Databases Patch on the
NetView servers.

If the patch installation succeeds, there will be a
6.0-NVD-0002_BIN_after.debug file in the /tmp directory; if it did not, then
a 6.0-NVD-0002_BIN_after.error file will exist in the /tmp directory which
contains a description of the failure.

If the Tivoli NetView Mid-Level Manager (MLM) update is desired, install it
at this time. For information on how to perform the installation, see the
readme files in the appropriate platform subdirectory under the /MLM
directory on the Tivoli NetView V6.0.2 installation CD-ROM.

Verify that all NetView daemons start and run properly on all machines that
had a NetView patch applied. 

Patches Required for this Release

No additional patches are required for Tivoli NetView for UNIX V6.0.2. 

Product Limitations and Workarounds

Some NetView man pages are not visible to the man command on the Solaris 2.6
operating system. Until the correct operating system patch can be
determined, set the environment variable MANPATH to
/usr/share/man:/usr/OV/man.

If either the Tivoli desktop or Netscape runs at the same time as the
NetView graphical user interface on Tru64, an X resource problem can cause
part or all of the graphical user interface to core. To avoid this problem,
exit both Netscape and the Tivoli desktop prior to starting the NetView
graphical user interface.

The new QuickTest functions are not available from the NetView GUI or the
Web client when NetView is running in the Simplified Chinese, Japanese, or
Korean locales. These functions will be available for the NetView Language
kits in a future release.

Tivoli NetView V6.0 and succeeding maintenance releases do not support the
Java 2 technology found in JDK 2.0. Tivoli NetView V6 requires JRE 1.1.8 to
be installed on the system in order to run the Tivoli NetView Web Client as
an applet.

On Solaris, after installing the Tivoli NetView V6.0.2 client and server
patches, it may be necessary to refresh the snmp daemon on the server in
order to restore the client/server connection. If the client and server
cannot communicate after the patches have been installed, simply stop and
restart the snmp daemon on the NetView server machine.

AIX machines that use a GXT300P graphics adapter are having problems running
NetView after AIX 4.3.4 is installed. The device drivers in that kit for the
GXT300P graphics adapter do not handle the resizing of the nvevents windows,
and completely freeze up the system with an LED code of 185. The problem can
be worked around by simply rejecting the updated device driver filesets:

devices.pci.14107d01.rte 4.3.3.25

devices.pci.14107d01.X11 4.3.3.25

Installing MLM-AIX via the Tivoli Framework incorrectly sets MLMs default
trap file to "/var/adm/smv2/collect/midmand.col" when it should be
"/var/adm/smv2/log/smtrap.log". This corrupts the midmand.col file with
traps. This problem only exists on MLM-AIX since the Tivoli Framework does
not do the complete install for the other MLM-UNIX platforms. To correctly
install MLM-AIX via the Tivoli Framework:

Click and hold down the right mouse button on the NetView server icon on the
Tivoli desktop to display the icon's pull-down menu.

Select "Administer MLMs"

Select "Install/Control the Mid-Level Manager (MLM) on a node

Scroll down until "Full path name of trap file" is displayed

Change the default trap file to: "/var/adm/smv2/log/smtrap.log"

Documentation Changes

In the Tivoli NetView for UNIX Administrator's Guide, Version 6.0, table 4
on page 69 incorrectly indicates that the default compound status for a
symbol is acknowledged when all of the symbols in its child submaps are in
an Acknowledged state. The table should state that the node will be normal
when all nodes in its child submaps are acknowledged. The acknowledged state
is not propagated and is ignored for upwards propagation.

The Tivoli NetView for UNIX V6.0 Release Notes, Appendix B, describes
procedures for changing the IP address and/or hostname in the Tivoli
Framework database. These instructions do not work in all cases. The
instructions should be changed to have the user consult the Tivoli Framework
documentation and/or Tivoli Customer Support for assistant.

Additional documentation for the netmon -a flag has been placed in the
netmon man page for this release.

Product Notes

Solstice Enterprise Agent (SEA) Issues

In order to fix SEA problems on Solaris 2.8, the following patch must be
installed on both the client and server machines: 

108869-02 (Solaris 2.8 kernel patch)

The following problems may occur when the NetView server is on a machine
running Solaris 2.7 and SEA 1.0.3:

The NetView graphical user interface does not come up on the client system,
or the client cannot connect to the server. The error message "ERROR: Cannot
connect to server daemons" or "Cannot contact the mgragentd daemon for
daemon status. Make sure that the mgragentd daemon is running on the server"
may display on the client.

NetView server machines are not recognized as NetView managers (isManager
field is not set to TRUE). The NetViews SmartSet is not populated when this
occurs.

To fix these problems, install the latest versions of the following patches
on both the client and server machines: 

106541-10 (Solaris 2.7 kernel patch)

107709-06 (SEA 1.0.3 patch)

Reboot your system after installing these patches.

If you have an MLM installed on the same machine as the NetView server, then
you must also make the following change to the midmand.acl file:

Change:

acl = {

{

communities = public, private

access = read-write

managers = *

}

}

to:

acl = {

{

communities = private

access = read-write

managers = *

}

{

communities = public

access = read-only

managers = *

}

} 

Solaris 2.8 Support

On Solaris 2.8, a system directory is missing that is required by the Tivoli
NetView installation process. You must create the directory
/usr/lib/locale/en_US/LC_MESSAGES manually if it does not exist in order for
the installation to complete successfully. 

AIX 4.1.5 Support

The NetView Web client, Web server, Seed File Editor, and Submap Explorer
are not supported on AIX 4.1.5 because JRE version 1.1.8 is not supported on
AIX 4.1.5. 

AIX 4.3.3 Support

APM distribution may hang for AIX users when running bos.net.tcp.client at
the 4.3.3.10 code level. Applying bos.net.tcp.client 4.3.3.14 resolves this
issue. 

Tivoli NetView Web Client

If you are running the NetView Web Client as a stand-alone application, you
will need to download and reinstall the Web Client code from the URL
http://host:8080/download, where host is the name of your Tivoli NetView
V6.0.2 server. For more information on configuring and running the NetView
Web Client as a stand-alone application, see the URL
http://host:8080/Running.html and the Tivoli NetView for UNIX Release Notes,
V6.0 

Cisco Works 2000 Integration

Tivoli NetView V6.0 initiated support of the Cisco Works 2000 integration
model. This release ships with the necessary adapters in the directories
/3rdParty/Cisco/AIX and /3rdParty/Cisco/Solaris on the installation CD-ROM.
The README files in each of those directories provides directions for
performing the integration. More information about these procedures and the
overall integration model can be found on the Cisco Web site at
http://cisco.com/warp/customer/cc/cisco/mkt/enm/cw2000/tech/cwnms_tb.html
(CCO login is required). 

NetView Language Kit Support

The following language upgrades have been made since the Tivoli NetView for
UNIX V6.0 release: 

When the Tivoli NetView Web client Event Browser connects to a Unix Web
server:

Event dates and severities are translated

Filtering by severity and the graph feature work correctly

Applications, such as the SNMP Configuration window, that run on the NetView
server and are displayed on the client now translate correctly when
displayed on Solaris.

The initial window size of the Server Setup and Client Setup applications
has been increased and no longer displays as only a title bar.

Additional text strings were translated in the following applications:

Agent Policy Manager

SmartSet Editor

Event Display

Security Administration

If you are planning on installing the Tivoli NetView Language kit, it must
be installed prior to installing Tivoli NetView for UNIX V6.0.2. If the
language kit is installed after Tivoli NetView for UNIX V6.0.2, then Tivoli
NetView V6.0.2 must be reinstalled.
