Re: hostname & ip address changes.

[Leslie Clark <lclark@US.IBM.COM>]

The ahm one is for the atm application. The problem there is that it uses a
database
under the covers that is configured by hostname.  You will need to
reinitialize that
database, then clear the ATM topology and restart the atm daemons. Only
ahmdbserver is
started by ovstart. The other one - ahmtopod - is started by cmld, which is
started by
ovstart, or by cmlstart ahmtopod. Rabm also uses the objectstore database,
and I
THINK doing this once will take care of both problems.

To reinitialize the objectstore database, use:

usr/lpp/ODI/OS4.0/cset/bin/osconfig server

Take the defaults on all the questions.

You should be looking in your Nways doc for this kind of answer.  These are
Nways daemons, and while Nways is an IBM product, you cannot find
information about it in the NetView doc any more than you can find info
about Cisco.  Both are external apps to NetView.

Some backgroung to my problem:

        We are running NV5.0 with AIX4.2.1 on a SP/2 node. They made
changes on the
frames which lead to changes on the hostname and ip address of the netview
node.  (before called f5n1 now called f6n1)

        I ran the recovery options in Tivoli, set out in the Planning and
Installation
guide,  and reset_ci on the netview side.

        All netview daemons came up wit the exception of ahmdbserver,
NCMPserver and
RabmEventServer. I get the following messages after starting the r/w map:

No handler for exception:
The server refused the connection
Attempt to connect to server failed while looking up database
"/usr/rabmv2/db/rabmv2.db" on host "f6n1".
Possibly there is no server running on f6n1. You can try the command
"/usr/lpp/ODI/OS4.0/cset/bin/ossvrping f6n1" to check.
 (err_server_refused_connection)

        cmlstatus shows ahmtopod in state: started.
/usr/OV/tmp/netnmrc.ovstart shows

        I did not find anything specific related on recovery of
Router&Bridge manager
/ ATM campus manager in the Netview documentation. Maybe it is covered
somewhere else?

        Any suggestions/steps to recover from this?
