Please advise what, Jeanie? If you cannot determine why your /usr/OV
filesystem fills up, then you need to call Support and get some help. There is
nothing I can do, or anyone can do, if your filesystem runs out of space. We
recommend and have always done so, 20% free space in /usr and /usr/OV for this
very reason. And no, I don't know why they won't re-start after you increase
it. It sounds to me like there are other, more fundamental problems being
resolved by your reboot.
I cannot diagnose problems on this forum, only make suggestions, and mine are
(1) increase your filesystem space in /usr (or /usr/OV if it is separate).
(2) consider making a separate /usr/OV filesystem if you haven't already
(3) monitor that space and see if it continues to fill up and try to determine
why
(4) if your daemons die and won't restart, use ovstatus to tell which ones are
down and what error messages they
have. Usually there is one key daemon on which the other depend which is the
problem. If it is ovtopmd, and the problem is an exit(255), then the Tivoli
environment has not be sourced correctly for restart. In that case, take all
the daemons down, source the environment, and restart them.
(i) ovstop nvsecd
(ii) . /etc/Tivoli/setup_env.sh
(iii) ovstart -v
Please open a problem to support when you need someone to analyze what is going
wrong.

Subject: Re: nvauth problem
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.
