[nv-l] netviewd owns RO map (was: Read-Write Map Unavailable)

Colin,

with the configuration you describe, how is the RO map owned by netviewd refreshed ?
After some new devices have been discovered, can the web console users see them ?

Cheers, Philippe.

Joel,

In my shop we set the netviewd daemon to run a read-only map for the web console users. This allows us to open the AIX gui using the command netview (without the -dconsole). What we did... (as usual, try in test first to ensure it does'nt mess anything else up :-))

ovstop netviewd
ovdelobj netviewd.lrf

Edit netviewd.lrf to look like the following (see highlighted -ro)

netviewd:/usr/OV/bin/netviewd:
OVs_YES_START:nvsecd pmd ovwdb trapd ovtopmd ovactiond nvcorrd actionsvr nvserverd:-spmd 2 -ro:OVs_WELL_BEHAVED:30:
ovaddobj netviewd.lrf
ovstart netviewd

This allows us to open and close a read/write map from AIX without affecting our web-console users.

As to why it only started causing the problems you are experiencing, this week, - I cannot answer that

Enjoy...

Ok, but this just started this week. We were always able to run with just the nv6000 command previously. Do I need to disable the web console then to stop this?

Thank you,

I stand corrected.

The ovstatus shows it's no mystery who has it. If you want to take the read-write map away from him, then start the GUI with netview -d console But if there are users on the web client, this will boot them off and they will have to log back in.
