Thanks Jim,
                       You are correct,  Im running 7.1.4 fixpack 5   not 7.1.5..  I run ovtopofix -A  once a week.    Auto-discovery is not running,  it gets a new seed file everyday for MACD's. This morning I removed all !OID entries from the seedfile and just completed an ovtopofix -A.  I brought down the map and killed all deamons and ran nvTurboDatabase speed.  I then did  netnmrc  and it took  ovtopmd 15 minutes to initialize and it took netmon at least that long to initialize. I'm probably going to open a PMR...  Pretty strange things happening..

Thanks, Dave

Re: [NV-L] Objects defined in Database





FixPack 3 for 7.1.5 has not been shipped yet Dave, so that's not where you
are. cat /usr/OV/service/version.

OK, so you are saying that your object count is growing by leaps and bounds
yet nothing has changed in the network?  No DNS or re-IP sorts of
activities going on?

What's in your events?  Are you seeing many new nodes being added and
managed or what?

If not, then it sounds to me like your seed file and discovery options need
attention.  If you have negative ranges or !@oid entries for example, then
netmon will have to create a hint for every other object it finds, just so
that it can compare the IP addresses or OIDs.  These stub objects are
called hints and you have to run ovtopofix periodically to keep pruning
them from the database.  And if any of these objects is renamed or re-IPed,
then netmon will create another hint for the new device, compounding the
issue.

How often do you do ovtopofix?  That's probably what you should do now.

Hi All,
         I have about 5400 nodes (routers, switches, AceModules, ect) that
i am monitoring with Netview 7.1.5 Fixpack3 on AIX 5300-05.  My problem is
that the Number of objects defined in the database keeps growing and
growing. Right now its at 127711 and 20 minutes ago it was 127590.  How can
I found out whats going on?

Number of objects defined in the database: 127711

Total number of fields defined in the database is: 259.

Total number of field values in the database: 2198111
        Number of Integer fields: 587160.
        Number of Boolean fields: 1138857.
        Number of String fields: 315704.
        Number of Enum fields: 156390.
