Vince,
2 possibilities on this one that I can think of.
1) You didn't have the Tivoli environment sourced when you did the
ovstop / ovstart (and make sure you do an ovstop nvsecd).  This results
in a subset of daemons not starting properly
2) Do you have a Mid Level Manager on the same box?  If so, it will grab
the trap port when NetView's trapd stops and then all the NetView trap
processing daemons won't start.

Cheers, Jane
