Hi James,
After implementing nvsec, & my Netview hung as mentioned before, I realise that
my "/usr/OV" directory keeps using up to 100% disk space. This causes nvsecd &
netmon daemons to die. I'd fail to start them up with the ovstart command,
even after increasing my disk space. Instead, I've to reboot my server. This
has happened a few times now & it's interrupting my network monitoring
tremendously!
Please help advise!
Thanks & regards,
Jeanie
PS: My Netview is v5.1, Framework 3.6 on AIX 4.3.2.
