RE: [nv-l] Garbage Collection Problem

Believe it or not, the Installation and Configuration Guide references
this as a routine maintenance operation. The "reset_ci" did the trick.

Interestingly (or not), this command worked fine on my Solaris box in
the lab (same setup).

Thanks!

I believe that this is a normal response to this command on Solaris.
Why 
would you want to do it?

The deprecated function ovorsutil is not very useful in any case.  We
only 
keep it around as a diagnostic tool, for when the pmd daemon won't
start. 
It's his "garbage" that would be collected, and since we have disabled 
almost all of his options, there shouldn't be any to collect.  These
days 
we don't fix the registration system, we just rebuild it with 
/usr/OV/service/reset_ci.

So what problem are you having and why did you think that ovorsutil -g 
would help solve it?  Usually  this command is pointless.

NetView 6.0.2
Solaris 8

Can someone explain how I fix the problem that cases the following
message when I attempt garbage collection using `ovorsutil -g`?

   ovorsutil: this action not allowed on read only node

I am issuing this command on the NV server and I have no clients or
MLMs.

Thanks!
