Bill,
Thanks for the help...after your suggestions I checked a few things.
There is not a negative entry in the seed file to block discovery. I also
checked to make sure the comm. strings match - they do. I was able to view
MIBs on the box with the MIB browser.
I added the box with "loadhosts" and it popped up, but was immediately
deleted from the map upon a "nmdemandpoll"
Any further suggestions would be appreciated!!

You're finding the object. You can't get it into the database as a fully
discovered object. Possible:
You have a negative entry in the seed file blocking its discovery.
You know its community name for snmpwalk but NetView doesn't.
Possible debug actions:
Try using the NetView MIB Browser to look at the device. If snmpwalk
works and the MIB browser doesn't it's probably a community name
problem.
Do a manual demand poll on the device; you may need to do loadhosts
first to force it into the database as more than a hint.
No guarantee if these will work. They're just the obvious ones that get
overlooked. I'm also suspicious of your name resolution since you're
getting TWO hints for each device; one by name and one by address. Check
out the resolution is good both forward and backward.

Scott,
Most of these I tried already. I was afraid that old interfaces
could be a
problem, so I tried /usr/OV/bin/ovwdbdmap -d <object number>. I
then
pinged the boxes and got the same results.
"ovtopofix -A" deleted everything about the 2 nodes (these object
numbers
are diff. now, due to the nodes being deleted and re-added multiple
times)
deleting object 2531 (HINT).
deleting object 2526 (HINT).
2 objects removed from ovwdb (2 hints, 0 old hints, 0 still valid)
deleting object 2527 (INCOMPLETE NODE).
deleting object 2532 (INCOMPLETE NODE).
2 node objects removed from ovwdb.
But, again, the same results after pinging to 2 boxes.
Is there anything else to try?
Thanks in advance!

Make sure using ovobjprint -s | grep <interface address> that you do
not
have old interfaces in the discovery that are preventing the
interfaces
from being added properly. You might have to use the unsupported
utility
ovwdbdmap to delete the interface objects OR try doing an ovtopofix
-A to
clear 'em out.

Hello list,
I am running AIX 4.3.3, Netview 5.1
Onto our one of our sub-networks, I added 2 new boxes (compaq Tru64
V4.0G)
on which I have installed net-snmp. Everything else on this
subnetwork has
been discovered once the subnetwork is managed and the boxes are
pinged (or
if I just wait long enough) --- except for these 2 boxes. I can
snmpwalk,
snmpget, snmpset, etc... to these 2 boxes. When I pinged these 2
boxes,
this was inserted in the object database:
OBJECT: 1014
FIELD ID FIELD NAME FIELD VALUE
10 Selection Name
"Interface:XXX.XXX.XX.221"
17 IP Address "XXX.XXX.XX.221"
OBJECT: 1015
FIELD ID FIELD NAME FIELD VALUE
10 Selection Name "box1"
11 IP Hostname "box1"
OBJECT: 1016
FIELD ID FIELD NAME FIELD VALUE
10 Selection Name
"Interface:XXX.XXX.XX.222"
17 IP Address "XXX.XXX.XX.222"
OBJECT: 1017
FIELD ID FIELD NAME FIELD VALUE
10 Selection Name "box2"
11 IP Hostname "box2"
box1's IP is XXX.XXX.XX.221 and box2's IP is XXX.XXX.XX.222. This
shows
me that Netview knows about these 2 boxes, but is not managing them.
Can
anybody tell me why these 2 nodes might not be managed by Netview?
Thanks in advance.
