Hi,

Its not a big deal to do it by hand.

copy bitmaps/mibs/fields  to the linux box.
load the mibs (V1,V2 for web mib browser)
add Cisco OID's to  oid_to_type and oid_to_sym
run  /usr/OV/bin/ovw -config
run /usr/OV/bin/ovw  -fields
run /usr/OV/bin/ovw -verify

Add the Client WEBServer XML for Cisco

as a hint you may look @ the CiscoNetview Adapter unzip it - and check the
installation Script. (NetView71AIXServerAdapter.jar)

On the Cisco box you should find all Integration stuff under
/opt/CSCOpx/nmim

       Adapter forNetView on Linux



James,

does the non-support of Linux by Cisco really matter if Netview &
Ciscoworks are running on two separate boxes ?   Imagine Netview (with
Integration kit) is running on Linux and Ciscoworks is running on Solaris,
then I think your kit is worth running.  Am I wrong ?

Regards,
Bernard Baudoux,
