Gil -
Client code and Server code cannot run on the same machine. Perhaps the
notes don't make it clear but the same box can never be both a client and a
server. To switch from one to the other requires a de-install of one and a
re-install of the other. It has always been so. Under V4, when we only
installed on AIX, the lslpp program required only one line in the .toc file
to prevent this kind install error from happening. Apparently, the Tivoli
install program is not so restrictive. It will cheerfully let you shoot
yourself in the foot.
How you recover and what you choose to do is up to you, but your
installation is hosed. Perhaps a de-install of the entire NetView product
will clean things up and let you re-install either the client or the server
code so that the box will be usable in that mode but I don't know. I
don't know that anyone does. That's why I suggested a call to Support,
where the folks who do installation support can assist you if the
de-install doesn't clean things up enough to let you proceed. Otherwise,
you can choose whatever method you like to try to recover. Format the
hard drive and re-install AIX if you want. It's your decision.
Good luck

James:
Thank you for your prompt response. I had followed the instructions on
the release notes for V5.1 page 23 item 5. I understood that, as long as
the server installation window is closed, all should go well.
In my scenario I am doing all of this on my test server, a risc34h. I can
restore if need be. The reason I installed the client on the server was so
that once I migrated to the production F50, I would be able to use the
client from my test server and log onto the production server. Oh, I should
mention that the test server takes 40 % of my desk work area.
I will wait for some other suggestion from the group before taken any
action.
Thanks again.

Well, I didn't think the code would let you do that -- install the client
on the same box as the server -- but that is most definitely not a good
thing. Code-wise the two are incompatible. The same box cannot be both.
Unless someone else has a suggestion, I would call Support, because I have
no clue how to get the client code off the box now. And that is definitely
screwing things up.

Subject: Netview5.1 Client Vs Server
Hi All;
I have installed the following features in the order that they appear on
OS:AIX 4.3.2 NV5.1 .
1. Framework 3.6
2 Netview 5.1 Server
3 Netview 5.1Client
4 Databases
5 Books
Since the successful installation of NV 5.1 client, I can NO longer log
onto netview from anywhere including the console. I enter "nv6000" and get
the following message.
Client/Server configuration error for (unknown):
/usr/OV/databases/servername not found. Probably not configured for a
server.
Use TME 10 desktop Add/Change Server to try to correct the problem.
The Add/Change appear applicable to the client icon only.
If a try to config the client using the server name I get an error to the
effect; The client can not be a client to it self.
I have 3 icons on the Policy Region:risc34h-region window.
1. AIX risc34h. (icon looks like a Server)
2. risc34h (icon looks like a PC).
3. risc34h (icon looks like a Server).
Where did I go wrong?
Is installing Client & Server on the same box a no no ..?
All Netview Daemons look good.
Netview access was OK before the client was installed.
Thank in advance..
