Question 1. Are you using a seed file to discover the network?.
Question 2. Did ovstatus command indicate that a seed file problem had
occurred?.
If so, check /usr/OV/log/netmon.trace to see if it contains a name of the
failing node.
Netmon will not start if an entry in the seed file is unresolvable.
For example, if the node name bogus was listed in the seed file and was not
resolvable in
the network, netmon would not start. The name of the unresolvable node
should be
removed from the seed file and netmon should be restarted.
Also you should remove IP addresses, host names and non-SNMP devices from
your seed file
once the devices have been discovered, leaving them there will only slow
down netmon
when starting your system.
Hope this will help !

Subject: Netmon
I'm running NetView for AIX 4.1 on a AIX 4.1.5 platform.
The command ovstart netmon returns
netmon
OVs_WELL_BEHAVED
NOT_RUNNING
17078
exit(255)
All of the ovstart commands are very slow to execute, can anyone tell me
what is happening.
