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

Hi
James,
i did
the command snmpv3_ssw -1, restart snmpd and netview and no errors when
starting netview... (netmon is up and running)
now,
when i
start the netview gui with the "netview" command, it seem to freeze at this
point :
root@aixtivlab1:/usr/OV/bin$
netview Waiting on SNMP Agent to become operational. 0513-029 The snmpd
Subsystem is already active. Multiple instances are not supported. portmap
is already running Initializing the Tracing and Logging... Done.
nettl startup completed
ps : i
also try the reset_ci command but same thing...
any
idea what should be the problem now ?
thanks
a lot for your help
Dominic
Well,
Dominic, it's pretty obvious then that the problem is not in NetView, isn't it?
You pre-production server's snmpd daemon is not responding. Was it
responding before?
Are you
certain that you have started the correct snmpd daemon? At some levels of
AIX you need to
run the command "snmpv3_ssw -1" which switches AIX from SNMPv3 (the default)
back to SNMPv1. If you don't then it won't pick up any changes you made to
snmpd.conf because the SNMPv3 version doesn't use that file. You could
also edit that file and enable logging to level3 (trace) so that the snmpd
daemon will trace what he's doing to the snmpd.log. If you do that, and
you don't see anything new in the log when you restart the daemon, then either
you are using the wrong version or you'll need to talk to AIX about why snmpd is
not working.

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

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
