Leslie,
...looks like I'm stumbling around in a mined area.
...Just changed the rule for my Zombie collection:
Collection: Zombies
Rule: ((('isNode' = True) || ('isCard' = True)) && (!('isIP' = True)))
...which of course shouldn't make any sense at all, but
...nvUtil l Zombies gives the following result:
SCHAS
CR200015:Tunnel1
su-bs
NT811
SSR-VLAN:172.20.97.3
SSR-VLAN
CR200013:Fddi2/0224970
CR200013:TokenRing4/1224970
sun-neutor
...the CR20...guy's DO NOT SHOW UP AT ALL on the GUI!
...the rest are "blue ones", just in the collection, NOT IN ANY MAP...
Have run the following for about a dozen times...
ovstop netmon
delete "them" from all submaps
ovmapcount -av
ovtopofix -Av
...they just "zombie" back.
NO seedfile for my NetView, just a well-polished /etc/hosts.
Regards, Ralph.

Betreff: Zombies in ovw database
I'm not sure what you are seeing on the map that has
a selection name that starts with Interface: but I believe that
those things, when I see them in the object database, are
stub objects, either hints or incomplete nodes, put there
because I have a !@oid or some other wildcard type of
entry in the seedfile. They prevent actual discovery of
the object. They go away when you do an ovtopofix -a.
That's my theory, anyway. You should not be seeing map
representation of these placeholder objects. They usually
only have a selection name and maybe ip hostname field.
The ~ operator, I believe, should need a ^ in it to make sure
the string occurs at the beginning; but I can't think of anything
that would have 'Interface' anywhere else in it so it does not
matter, probably.
Cordially,

Subject: Zombies in ovw database
Hi group,
I'd be interested in YOUR reactions to the following collection,
platform is AIX NetView5.1 (no 5.1.1 patch), Framework 3.6:
nvUtil g Zombies
Collection: Zombies
Description:
Rule: ((('isNode' = True) && (!('isIP' = True))) || ('Selection
Name'
~ 'Interface'))
Translation:
(isNode = TRUE and isIP != TRUE) or (Selection Name starting with
"Interface...")
Puzzled. Getting weird stuff in that collection.
Cordially, Ralph.
