Re: [nv-l] How to make appear in IP map something in the object datbase?

When you display the object info, there are two fields to look for: 'maps exists' and 'maps managed'. Check those numbers. If it says that the object exists in a map, then you must not be searching for it correctly. Try 'Locate..Object...by Attribute', scroll through the list until you find 'IP Address', and enter the address you are expecting, chose 'Exact match'. That should take you to the object. If you have more than one map (the default map is called 'default') then check both maps. Things deleted from one map cannot be rediscovered until they are deleted from all maps.

If the fields do not exist, then the object has not yet been placed on the map. Time for housekeeping. Use ovmapcount and ovtopofix (see the man pages) and close and open the map. Do the search again.

Subject: [nv-l] How to make appear in IP map something in the object datbase?

Hi guys, maybe somebody already have ask this but I have not seen
it..
How can I make appear something that is in the object database(seen
when "ovobjprint") in the IP Map? I have many things in the datanase
but I am not capable to see it.
I tried to create an smartset with only this host but it says that
it could not find the matching IP address.
Then I tried the loadhost command but it says host in already on
database, so I gues is simply a problem of learning to disply this
object, but I do not know how...

I have NV 7.1.3 running on W2000 over Framework 4.1 and using
Microsoft SQL server 2000.

Any help is very appreciated.
