[nv-l] Virtual PC

Hello List,

We are planning on porting over our NV 7.1.4 server from Windows to Linux, but before hand I want to make some tests and we don't have any extra servers to test on.

I am not sure if this is supported, but here goes. I am running Red Hat 7.2 running on a virtual machine with Netview 7.1.4. I set up discovery on local subnet only. However upon starting Netview, there is nothing discovered. I am not an expert with Linux but I did configure the SNMP agent to match the community name of NV. I also ran " /sbin/service iptables stop" in case I had any kind of Linux Firewall rules. I am able to ping a server on the same subnet, I am also able to snmpwalk the same server. The only weird thing I noticed is under Test... IP/TCP/SNMP connectivity... I get an error "could not connect to port 5888: connection refused" but thats only for TCP test, ICMP and SNMP are ok. From that server I am trying to monitor, I am able to ping, telnet, and telnet to port 162 to the virtual PC, I added it to the seedfile include, and added to the host file and tried to run loadhosts making sure in the options that I manage nodes added by loadhosts. Yet I still do not have anything discovered?

Can anyone shoot out any ideas out or can I assume it just won't work running on a virtual PC?

Thanks

Carlos
