Hello,
This question has been posed several times but here it goes again..
I deleted a node yesterday morning (Cisco PixFirewall) from the map because
for some reason the icon turn into a generic box. ( I am not sure when it
changed probably during a configuration cycle?). Instead of being in the
IP Internet map as it used to be now it was in a submap..
I deleted the node so Netview could rediscover it correctly. I did an
ovmapcount and ovtopofix. I ping the node..it was ok.. I did a demand poll on
the router that it is connected to. All this was done yesterday..I waited until
today and nothing.. I did everything again (ping, demandpoll).. I check the
netmon.seed file.. It is entered as $10.x.x.x (for snmp status
polling). By lunch time hadnt been discovered..
This afternoon, I removed the $ from the seed file (I am just grasping at
straws). redid the demand poll on one of our core routers, did a netmon -y
to reread the seed file, ping the interface, ovtopofix... And still
NOTHING...
What else can I do?
Is it normal for the icon to change during a configuration polling?
Is it normal to move icons from the map during its polling cycle?
On the average how long should it take to discover a node? I have 3825
objects in my database and only 1 map
When reading a routers arp cache it there a limit to the number of lines
Netmon reads? Or does it go through the whole arp cache?
Please advice
Thanks

I am
told that the Release Notes for 7.1.1 will be available on the Tivoli web
site shortly. In the meantime, here below is what they say about
hardware and software requirements to run NetView on an Intel Platform
using Linux. I don't know about plans for any other platform other
than the zOS (390 mainframe) partition. Nothing else has been
announced
Linux Hardware Prerequisites
1. 450 MHz
Intel Pentium or faster 2. 512 MB of system
memory 3. 1 GB of swap space 4. 500 MB of file
system space for NetView code 5. 500 MB of file system space for
network database 6. Minimum video
requirements Configure
display to use 8 or 24 bit color only for images to display properly
Minimum resolution
should be 1024X768
Linux Software Prerequisites IBM Tivoli NetView for
Linux Version 7.1.1 runs on RedHat or SuSE Linux for Intel v7.1, and
requires that the following packages be installed:
1.binutils 2.inetd 3.ucd-snmpd (RedHat rpm is
ucd-snmp, SuSE rpm is ucdsnmp) (Version 4.2.2 or higher)
4.Xvfb (RedHat rpm is XFree86-Xvfb, SuSE rpm is xextra) 5.pdksh
(pdksh-5.2.14.rpm must be installed from the RPMS package provided on the
IBM Tivoli NetView for Linux Version 7.1.1
CDROM) 6.Netscape Version 4.7 or higher
What else is not
ported? Again from the 7.1.1 UNIX Release Notes under Produtc
Notes:
5.The following functionality has not been included in the Linux
Intel platform release of Tivoli NetView for UNIX Version
7.1.1.
a.Agent Policy Manager
(APM), C5eui, and MLM (Linux will have limited support for remote MLM
configuration). b.Tralertd and
Spappld (the preferred method is to use MSM/IP and trap
forwarding).
c.MLM. d.Native Client Support
(the Java Console is replacing the native client
mechanism). e.XMP API support (for
CMIP and CMOT applications) f.RIM
Database Support (there will be no support for TME
RIM). g.TME Installation (Linux
installation will always be Framework
independent). h.Tivoli
Integration Pack for NetView (TIPN supports integration with TME Framework
components). i.Backup
Manager. j.Cisco Integration
Adapters (The Cisco integration utility is not currently supported on
Linux).
Hope this helps. If you need more, I probably cannot help,
since I did not work on the port nor do any testing on Linux.

Subject: Re: [nv-l] NetView 7.1.1
supports LINUX too
James Shanks a écrit : I said in my
last posting on 7.1.1 that the new feature was the Language
Kits. That was not entirely true.
7.1.1 is the first
distributed NetView to support Linux as an operating system. The supported
current versions of Linux are Red Hat and Suse 7.1
(just a
coincidence on those numbers) for the Intel platform.
There is
also a version which supports Suse 7.0 for zLinux on the IBM
mainframe. The mainframe version ships as part of
NetView/390 5.1 ( if that is the right nomenclature -- the
renaming of mainframe products from 390 to "z" this or that has me
confused).
The Linux versions most closely resemble NetView for Solaris,
except that there is no MLM and no APM support.

/ IBM Software Group Hi James,
Current platform : Tivoli NV 6.0.3,
Tru64 UNIX
I'm studying porting of our solution on Linux platform, and
therefore I'll need a Linux release of Tivoli Netview. Regarding your mail,
I can see it is now availabIe on Intel Linux platform. However, I have some
additional questions :
Except the two above limitations (MLM, APM),
are there any other functionality's that have not been ported (ruleset
editor, web server ...?). Are any other Linux distribution planned to be
supported (Power PC platform, ...) What is the hardware requirement to
support a Linux based Netview server (small network configuration, i.e.
<1000 nodes)
Thanks for pointing me to any available documentation.
Regards
Luc
