Connie, I saw your append, and though I am not in Support, I checked in the
PMR database
and did not see anything. I looked again today and they are working on at
least one
customer reporting status problems with Solaris clients connected to and
AIX server. Is
this what you are doing? It does not appear that you have called support
about this.
I believe that you should be able to run just fine with only r/o maps
opened. If I had that
problem on AIX, which is all I work on, I would assume a defect was
involved. I think you
should call Support, because as far as I know, this is a supported
configuration.
That said, you are back-level. V5.0 was the first release of the product on
the SUN platform.
For that reason alone I would upgrade to V5.1, and from there to V5.1.1.
Both jumps are
basically bug-fix releases, and I think you may be looking at a bug. That's
my wild guess...
Let us all know how this gets resolved.
Cordially,
Leslie A. Clark

I raised a question similiar to Blaine Owens question. Can you explain to
me what is the story is with this problem?
Thanks

Even refreshing the map does not change them to red.

The user then refreshed the read-only map again, and everything was
updated.

accelerator operators who use the netview displays to validate the
connectivity of the network. It is critical that the netview display be up
to date and accurate so that they can quickly ascertain that something has
gone down. We do not want them to run a read-write map.

Does netview only update map icons when a read-write map is opened? The
up/down events are in the logs, so I know that it saw them.
