That's what I thought, and remember it working that way previously, but have 
been seeing it change on my system (aix 4.3.3, NV 7.1.4 FP1).  When the device 
name is changed, I see changes to the name as displayed on the map, the name 
displayed in ovtopodump output, and the fields values 'Selection Name' and 'IP 
Hostname' in ovobjprint output.  Not sure if it was an intentional change, and 
hope it doesn't revert; it's nice not to have to rediscover anymore.

A nmdemandpoll will update the label on the map with the proper hostname, but 
does not update the object name in the database. If you want a different object 
name, you need to remove the object and re-add it back into NetView.

usually a demandpoll will do the job.

Hi All:
Is there any way to have netview (7.1.3 FP1 on Solaris 8) update an object name 
according to the DNS PTR record if the object is added by loadhosts?.


B. Regards
Alejandro Gabay
