The only thing I can think of is that this is our TSM server as well. HMM. Could this be causing the problem?

I can halt and restart TSM without any problems

Thanks,

Kevin,

I meant to ask,

Did you install NetView using the stand-alone command line on a machine that also has Framework installed?

The symptom you have is that there is more than one level of Framework shared libraries on the system.  You get a mixed bag via an incorrect LIBPATH from the command line.  netnmrc gets it right at boot time.

Geo.

NetView daemons are ALL stopped via "/usr/OV/bin/ovstop nvsecd".  If you have another daemon such as the tdwdaemon or another 3rd part daemon registered in ovsuf, you will have to stop that too.  Basically when the last daemon is stopped (normally nvsecd because all others are dependent), ovspmd will shut itself down.

Kevin,

There is an environment created when you do /etc/netnmrc that the programs run in. Finding the right libraries is part of that. If you do the command 'ovstart ovtopmd', it is actually telling ovspmd to start ovtopmd. However, if ovspmd was not started the right way, it will not have the proper environment to pass onto ovtopmd. ovtopmd will die with the message that you see

Let's try to fix this by doing:

ovstop (this should stop all the daemons)

/etc/netnmrc (this should start all the daemons with the right environment )
