Ovtopodump -v will give you a detailed display where the SYMBOL CHANGE TIME 
will contain the information you want.  It will also tell you when the device 
came up or went marginal or was unmanaged.  There will also be a symbol change 
time for each interface so the Unix command to use for the whole time string on 
the device is: 

        ovtopodump -v <hostname> | grep "SYMBOL CHANGE TIME" | awk 'NR==1' | 
cut -d":" -f2-

Subject: [NV-L] How to capture "down since" information

Hi List,

I generate a report of critical, unreachable and marginal nodes three times a 
day.

I would like to include the "down since" timestamp for each node. 

I know a quicktest will provide the "down since" timestamp, but I am assuming 
that information is in one of the databases already.

Does anyone know where that timestamp is, or how I could get that information 
for each node?

NV7.1.4, FP5 on AIX 5.2

Thanks
Randal Dold
