This is a very very very common issue. If you use the locate object feature
and it cannot be found in the map database, then use ovobjprint -s
<devicename> and you will probably find a phantom object for one of the
interfaces in the database. Deleting this object using the UNSUPPORTED
command ovwdbdmap -d <objectid> Once that is done, netmon -y or stop/start
netmon should cause discovery to pick it up. By the way, v7.1 still does
this.
If you can convince support this is a bug more power to you.

Subject: RE: [NV-L] Missing object
That did the trick!
I am still somewhat confused as to why that worked. I created a smartset
for that IP address. When I clicked "OK" Netview returned that there
were no objects with that IP address would I like to create the smartset
anyway. I answered yes, went into that smartset and there was the server I
was looking for. I deleted it and Netview rediscovered it.
I guess my question is, how did the Smartset find it?

Here's a trick that I use.
Create a SmartSet specifically for that object.
Then open the SmartSet and delete it.
I have used this at sites where stopping netmon and running ovtopofix was
not an option without a maintenance window.

Netview 7.1 for NT
I have an object that I can not find on my map and I can not force Netview
to discover it ( I put it in the seedfile ).
If I run "ovtopodump hostname" I see an entry for that object. How do I
remove this object from the
database so Netview can rediscover it or how do I force it to show up on
the map?
Thanks in advance for your help!
