If you change your names then you should also flush the Netview cache. I
used to do this by deleting :

/usr/OV/conf/ovsnmp.conf_db/cachedb.pag
/usr/OV/conf/ovsnmp.conf_db/cachedb.dir

but I think the command "xnmsnmpconf -clearCache" has the same effect.

Subject:	[nv-l] inconsistent hostnames dilemma

Netview 7.1.1 on AIX 4.3.3

Hi,

We have a seed file that contains hostnames some of which are lowercase,
some uppercase, some fully qualified, some not. We are planning on writing a
script that will make it consistent (all fully qualified lower case).
Currently because the state of our seed file, Netview database has object
entries with inconsistent hostnames.

Question(s): Plan is in order to get rid of these inconsistent hostnames, we
will flush the databases and rediscover (netmon -y) after we have run the
seed file through the script. Is that the best way to go? are there any
considerations we should be aware of? Please keep in mind this is a
production Netview server that does heavy duty nodedown and link down
paging. Thanks.

Cheers,

Fawad Qureshi
