Re: [nv-l] Unmanage via Ruleset?

But there is not. This usually gets asked as "How can I do this from the command line?" In the current design, you cannot.
Managed/Unmanaged is relative to a map, not to an object. You can have multiple maps and the object can be managed on some and unmanaged on others. So the only way you can manage or unmanage an object is to have the map open read-write. Which means you have to do it from the GUI.

Of course, if you always want to have your HP printers discovered unmanaged, and they all have SNMP turned on, and they all have a unique OID, then you could modify the /usr/OV/conf/oid_to_type file to make that happen. Read the comments and create an entry like this
<HP PRINTER OID>: : :U
But this only works with ones you have not yet discovered of course, and they must have SNMP active at the time of discovery.

Subject: [nv-l] Unmanage via Ruleset?

NetView 6.0.2 AIX 4.3.3

Is there a way to unmanage nodes that match a smartset? Example:

I have HP Print Servers that I do not want to manage at this time but I need to see that they exist.

I set up a smartset based on the object OID. I have been manually unmanaging them, but there has to be a better way.

Thanks,
