The document is referring to the cw2k application, and not to NetView
integration. Cw2k was not designed to integrate with NetView, hust the CiscoView
component, if you need it integrated. But why waste the money! as it is already
on cw2k, the cwsi/campus component. Cw2k runs on NT, AIX and Solaris. The best
OS to install cw2k on, im my opinion is Solaris. I tried on all three
previously. You also get better support from Cisco, if you have it on Solaris,
as it is Cisco's primary development platform for cw2k.
Sounds like you have a rather small network.

I'm using Netview / CW2000 on AIX (4.3.2).
The crmimport.pl man page (on AIX) does reference options available in the
Windows NT version, so I presume it is there as well. Perhaps you can find
reference to it in your online NT CW2K documentation.
