I use this SmartSet definition to give me the servers.  It gives me desktops too and switches which don't have SNMP enabled but it's a good start.  The reasoning is that we don't do desktops from NetView and exclude them with seed file ranges for DHCP addresses and we snub our network engineers until they provide us with SNMP community strings ;-).  Note that routers are a subset of connectors. 

 

SmartSet: Servers

        Description:

        Rule: ((('isComputer'=True) && (!('isConnector'=True)))

Subject: [nv-l] extracting servers from netview database

 

NV 7.1.3 / AIX 5.1

 

Need to extract all known servers in Netview database. What makes it interesting is that there are Microsoft (Dell), HP/UX (HP), AIX (IBM), Solaris (SUN), etc servers. I use following to extract routers

 

/usr/OV/bin/nvUtil e "(isRouter=TRUE)"

 

can't find anything similar that will grab all servers from the database. Any suggestions? Thanks.

 

Cheers
