With V5.1, you can use nvdbformat to dump lists of nodes with certain
criteria.
With 5.0, if you only wanted a list of all nodes, you can look at the
output of
ovtopofix -Cv.
If you want to be more selective, you can define a collection and then use
nvUtil to dump the contents. That is very fast. See the man page.

If the database is very large and you want to try a bunch of different
things,
here are some methods I use:

ovtopodump -rl > topo.file

This will give a list of all routers:
cat topo.file |         \
awk '/^HOSTNAME:/          {hostname=$2}
     /^FLAGS:.*GATEWAY/    {print hostname}'  > /tmp/routerlist

This will give a list of all snmp-supported nodes:
cat topo.file |        \
awk '/^HOSTNAME:/          {hostname=$2}
      /^SUPPORTS SNMP:.*YES/ {print hostname}'  > /tmp/snmplist

This will give a list of nodes with oids:
cat topo.file |      \
awk '/^HOSTNAME:/          {hostname=$2}
     /^SNMP OBJECT ID:/    {oid=$4}
     /^SUPPORTS SNMP:.*YES/ {print hostname "  :   " oid}' >
/tmp/nodeoid.list
sort +2 -t: /tmp/nodeoid.list > /tmp/byoid.list

Not responsible for typos....you get the idea.

Hello All,

Is there a way to generate a seed file based on the current database?
I'm running NV 5.0 on AIX 4.2

TIA,
