Sue,

this isn't a snmpCollect problem. This is a new feature.
You can simply Suspend or even Delete the new added data collections.

Re: [nv-l] Upgrade OS and NetView Questions






Jane,


Do the Fixpacks for 7.1.4 fix this snmpCollect problem or do we need to turn it off ourselves. We have a very large network and I think this could cause us problems if we upgrade from 7.1.3.


Thanks,

Sue

Watch out when you go from NetView 7.1.3 -> 4.  There are a bunch of
snmpCollect entries that get activated by default and you could suddenly
end up with much more data polling than you expect, along with a huge
snmpCollect database.

Other gotcha is that there is an extra AIX pre-req needed for NetView
7.1.x when you go to AIX 5.x - you need X11.compat (X11R5) package
installed.

Also with NV 7.1.4 make sure that ulimit -n is NOT unlimited - set to 32767.

Problems if you want to install MLMs on AIX 5.x - see recent nv-l append
(easy fix).

Cheers,
Jane
