Re: [nv-l] Netmon not starting - "Cannot open icmp socket" error

Mario -
The unfortunate possibility exists that
NetView install is now corrupted. The fact is that despite Microsoft's
assurances that any well-written application can be run within Terminal
Services, my experience has been quite the opposite - unless an application
is written specifically to use Microsoft's Terminal Services, there will
be issues. I have found myself in a situation where someone was receiving
an identical error message and it was discovered that Terminal Services
had been used, both for installation of the product and many times in the
normal operations of starting and stopping the daemons and bringing up
maps. Sometimes, it would appear stable, and other times we could
not keep netmon up and running. Luckily, this was in a test environment,
and we were able to uninstall NetView and reinstall it in order to overcome
the issue.
Note that you can have Terminal Services
enabled and running on any system, Windows 2000 and later, that is running
NetView. It affects nothing for it to be running on the same system.
The problem comes in when they try to do anything NetView related
remotely, via the Terminal Services, such as manipulating the daemons,
the NetView service or the map. Terminal Services should never be
used to access any functions or portions of NetView.
Thanks.

Hi Jennifer,
Yes, I was using TS, but NV was running ok. I´ve heard something about
not being able to use TS with NV but I´ve completely forgot about it............in
any case, after I´ve got your message I´ve disabled the TS service and
rebooted the machine but the error remains. Should I uninstall TS ?
Thanks.
Mario

Mario -
Are you using Terminal Services? Terminal Services is not supported
for use with NetView.
Thanks.

| [nv-l] Netmon not starting - "Cannot
open icmp socket" error |
|
Hi list,
I have a NV 7.1.4 FP04 running on a Windows 2000 Server box. Everything
was fine when suddenly the netmon daemon stopped...........and now I get
this error message at the ovstatus output and netmon does not start anymore.
I´ve checked the nv.log file and found these lines there:
03/15/06 16:13:15 [netview] Parsing configuration file D:\ usr\ ov\ conf\
c\ explore.conf
03/15/06 16:13:18 [nmpolling] Failed to connect to netmon's shared memory
segment; error: The system cannot find the file specified.
I looked for this error at the IBM website but I´ve found only an explanation
for AIX machines.
Another thing............this is the second time this error happens on
the present machine, a NEC Express 5800 with 4 processors and 1.5GB RAM.
The first time took place at the beggining of the discovery process, so
I´ve just uninstalled NV and installed it again. But now I have too many
objects already discovered so.................
Is it possible that this problem could be a hardware thing ???? Judging
by the "netmon's shared memory segment" part of the error message.
Just a thought.......
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
Mario
