Re: [nv-l] Trying to upgrade to 7.1.4

Ray,
snmpget will fail if nvsecd is not running. Only snmpget_unsecure will run.
snmpget calls the security api. snmpget_unsecure does not use the security api.
nvsecd implements the security api. If the api is not active, calls to it fail.
I know you are not in control of what gets called and where from during installation.
Please open a PMR with NetView support. 7.1.4 is fully supported now, even though not
all customers have it yet.
Regards,
Geo.

George,
The /tmp/update.log reports snmpget fails in the install.
One of the reasons given is nvsecd is not running. I try
to run the snmpget with nvsecd stopped and it fails with
permission denied. This is not the behavior I see on my
other servers.
Frankly - I'm out of ideas now.
Thanks,
