It is pretty obvious that you had some kind of RIM/DB2 failure trying to
clear the database.
You will probably have to get help from Support to determine what exactly
happened, and they will probably insist that you also get current and
install 6.0.2 before tyring this again.

This is one of the hazards of trying to use any kind of RDBMs a live store
for topology data.  It is much preferred that you use the standard NetView
"flat file" database to run NetView with and load your topology into DB2
statically.  I'll bet that in order to recover that you will have to go
back to the flat files, clean out DB2 using its native DB2 utilities, and
then re-load the topology after the Map generation has finished.

Hi I hope you can help me with this.

I have installed Netview 6.0.1 on an  AIX 4.3.3 machine, Tivoli
Framework 3.7.1 and DB2 6.1 to Netview store IP Topo information on this
database.
Netview Daemons run OK it discover the network Ok according to the
seedfile and Location file, but when I use the Restart automatic map
generation it send the following message:
This is the message that has appeared first when doing a "Restart
Automatic Map Generation" (it's still present):
Stopping daemons...
Starting automatic map regeneration...
Saving master polling settings...
Starting ovwdb...
Saving collection definitions...
Saving C5 definitions...
C5Maint: No database records available to unload
Stopping daemons...
Clearing IP topology database
/usr/OV/bin/ovtoposql -C -v
Error: Unable to clear IP topology database.
Command failed

And when open the NV console a new map appears being discovered and
shows two maps, the one first discovered and other one as a result of
the map generation action.

Any idea why this happens?

Thanks in advanced.
