hi,

i'd rather consider netview backup mechanism, but if it's goig to be HACMP,
take a look at the release-notes from nv5.1:

     A.3  High Availability Cluster Multi-Processing Servers on AIX

     TME10   NetView   can   be   used   with   High  Availability  Cluster
     Multi-Processing (HACMP) servers with the following recommendations:

     o  Put /usr/OV on the fail-safe filesystem.

     o  Have both IP and MAC address takeover.

     o  Install TME10 NetView on both machines with the hostname set to the
        one corresponding to the shared IP address.

     Even  though  /usr/OV  will  be overwritten, this is necessary for the
     surrounding   links   and   modifications  to  the  non-shared  system
     files/directories  to  occur.   Since  /usr/OV  is shared, a backup of
     /usr/OV  should  be  made  prior  to  deinstalling  so  that it can be
     restored  for the deinstallation of the other machine to occur without
     a problem.

     Use the startup/shutdown scripts shown below:

     a problem.

     Use the startup/shutdown scripts shown below:

     start_netview script:
     # Mount shared directory
     mount /usr/OV
     # Source in Tivoli info for appropriate Library paths
     . /etc/Tivoli/setup_env.sh
     # Set hostname to shared IP addresses hostname
     hostname hacmp5
     # Export subdirectories needed by client
     mknfsexp -d `/usr/OV/conf' -t `ro' -r \
     `hacmp77.austin.ibm.com' -N
     mknfsexp -d `/usr/OV/databases/snmpCollect' -t `ro'\
     -r `hacmp77.austin.ibm.com' -N mknfsexp -d
     `/usr/OV/databases/openview/mapdb' -t `rw' -r \
     `hacmp77.austin.ibm.com' -N mknfsexp -d
     `/usr/OV/databases/openview/defmap' -t `rw' -r \
     `hacmp77.austin.ibm.com' -N
     # Set display and start netview
     # Note: If it is to be used as a GUI-less server then
     # the DISPLAY doesn't need to be set and /etc/netnmrc
     # should be run. However, the web server will not be
     # started.
     export DISPLAY=:0.0
     /usr/OV/bin/netview
     # End of script

     stop_netview script:

     # Stop daemons/windows so that the /usr/OV can be unmounted

     /usr/OV/bin/nv6000_smit stopall forceall
     /usr/OV/bin/nv6000_smit APPLCLEANUP ovw_binary nvauth nvsec_admin
     /usr/OV/bin/nettl -stop >/dev/null 2>&1
     /usr/OV/bin/ovstop nvsecd >/dev/null 2>&1
     # Remove /usr/OV subdirectories from NFS exports list
     rmnfsexp -d `/usr/OV/conf' -N
     rmnfsexp -d `/usr/OV/databases/snmpCollect' -N
     rmnfsexp -d `/usr/OV/databases/openview/mapdb' -N
     rmnfsexp -d `/usr/OV/databases/openview/defmap' -N
     # Unmount /usr/OV
     cd /
     umount /usr/OV
     # End of script

     If  client/server is to be used, it is very important to set the Major
     Number  for  the  shared  volume  group  to  be consistent.  There are
     details about NFS and HACMP in the HACMP Administrator's Guide.

     Also,  when configuring the client, you should use the hostname of the
     shared IP address for the server.
