actionsvr not starting

[Greg Redder <redder@YUMA.ACNS.COLOSTATE.EDU>]

Dear all,

I'm not able to search the nv-l archives - no answer after 4 hours.
Also, the knowledge base at Tivoli is temporarily out of service.
So, here I am ;-)

I'm running NetView V5.0 on AIX4.2.1.

When I try to start nv6000, I get the following error:

ERROR: The following REQUIRED daemons are not running:
  actionsvr
As root user, start all the daemons by using one of the following methods:
         a) use the smit (TME 10 desktop) utility
         b) issue the command:  /usr/OV/bin/ovstart
         c) rerun this command

So, as root, I run:

/usr/OV/bin/ovstart

and get:

 behavior:            OVs_WELL_BEHAVED
 state:               NOT_RUNNING
 PID:                 33364
 last message:
 exit status:         exit(1)

I look in: /usr/OV/log/nvaction.alog and see:

98/08/19 14:58:29 :     local host is delta
98/08/19 14:58:29     nl_Actionsvr.C[264] :     Unable To Open action
Channel Trying Port 1670
98/08/19 14:58:29     nl_Actionsvr.C[267] :     Unable to open port
1670... exiting


Any ideas, please?

Thank you --Greg Redder
