netmon needs to be configured with the
appropriate SNMP community name to be able to talk to the snmpd agent that
resides on the same box as itself.
The global default community name within
NetView's SNMP Configuration panel and the loopback community name in snmpd.conf
need to be the same.
OR
If not the global default, then you
need to have an entry (such as a specific entry) in NetView's SNMP Configuration
for the NetView host box where its community name matches the community
name in the snmpd.conf file.

Hello all,
i got a error when i copy the /usr/OV/conf dir. from my production
server to my pre-production netview server when i ovstart my pre-
production server i got this :
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----
object manager name: netmon
behavior: OVs_WELL_BEHAVED
state: FAILED
PID: 31714
last message: Can't talk to snmpd; see /usr/OV/log/netmon.trace
for
info
exit status: -
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----
Cannot communicate with SNMP Agent via loopback address (127.0.0.1); it
is
either not running or has been configured with a community name different
from that configured into Tivoli NetView for this system. If a community
name has
been configured into the SNMP Agent, that community name must be configured
via xnmsnmpconf and /usr/OV/conf/ovsnmp.conf for address 127.0.0.1 as well
as for the hostname or IP address of this system.
Or, the /usr/OV/conf/snmpmib and /usr/OV/conf/snmpmib.bin files are
corrupted
and need to be rebuilt using the
Maintain->Rebuild MIB binary file with installation MIB defaults
option in NetView configuration menu
any idea what can be wrong ?
thanks
Dominic
