I believe if you would create the /usr/OV/seedfile/ directory before
starting the migration the installation would complete with the one warning
for security. You should have a successful migration.
I do not remember seeing the security problem during V4.1 to V5.1 migration
testing. I would suggest contacting Support as soon as possible, they may
have a work around for this also.
When I get back from vacation on July 19,1999, would it be possible to get
a tar of the /usr/OV.back.v4r1, I would like to use it in future NetView
migration testing. Support could also use this in debugging the security
issue.
There is one think you will have to do and that is to move the security SRF
and user groups forward. These are not automatically migrated forward since
NetView has add new menus and functions to the product that you may want
our users to take advantage of.

Subject: Urgent Netview Migration Problem
Hi,
I am having a bad time trying to migrate a Netview 4.1 system to 5.1 -
Here is
my situation:
I am currently trying to migrate a Netview V4.1 system to
Netview V5.1.1. The platform is a RS6000 E30 ( previously running
AIX 4.1.5 - now migrating to AIX 4.3.2 ). So the transition looks like
this:-
Netview 4.1 on AIX 4.1.5
TO
Netview 5.1.1 on AIX 4.3.2
The steps I took roughly:-
1. mksysb's
2. chktrapd.con to verify the trapd.conf format
3. shutdown daemons
4. create migration backups ( created both ALL and ALL-USER - but used
ALL-USER within the context of this discussion ).
5. Deleted Netview, Systems Monitor, Dynatext, etc.
6. Ran Migration upgrade of AIX from 4.1.5 to 4.3.2 -> Seems OK
7. Installed Framework 3.6
8. Upgraded Framework to 3.6.1
9. Applied Framework Patch for Netview 5.1
10. Created ( installed ) Netview Server
Seems to progress OK but finally fails with the following messages:-

Note: This was taken from the end of the /tmp/NVS_51_NVFCONF_after.error
file.
I think I know what is happening with the "seed.ALL" message - The previous
Netview Implementation used a "seed.ALL" file in a "/usr/OV/seedfile"
directory - which wasn't
recreated by the migration install.
Do I need to create this directory in advance and put the "seed.ALL" file
in it? YES
What about the other messages? Contact support, they may have a work
around. But I would also like to get the /usr/OV.back.v4r1 directory from
you to use in the future migration testing of NetView.
I urgently need to resolve this issue. Please let me know if you need
any more information. I took the following from the system in case they
are of any use
( I didn't want to just attach them in case this was a bad political move
):-
NVS_51_ALIDB_after.debug
NVS_51_BIN_before.debug
NVS_51_NVFCONF_after.error
NVS_51_CONFBASE_after.debug
NVS_51_CONFBASE_after.output
