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.

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
