RE: [nv-l] netmon won't start

Issue xnmsnmpconf and verify that either
the global default community name is the same as the read community name
in /etc/snmpd.conf or that there is a specific entry for the NetView box
itself which has the correct community name specified.
Then issue
(1) stopsrc -s snmpd
(2) ps -ef | grep snmpd (to verify
that it is down)
(3) startsrc -s snmpd
(4) ps -ef | grep snmpd (to verify that
it is up)
(5) ovstart netmon

Objet : Re: [nv-l] netmon won't start
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
