James,
Sorry about forgetting to include the subject and releases. NV 5.1.1 on an AIX
4.2.1
It appears that the nodes will eventually get deleted but I don't understand
what triggers it.
I've done a demand poll and the objects remain.
I've closed and re-opened the user interfaces - the objects remain.
I've done an ovstop / ovstart - the objects remain.
I've gone home and returned - the objects disappeared.
My goal is to find an easy way for Operations to remove remote offices that have
been relocated. (Averages 20-30 offices / month. The new office is typically
created using new addresses / names and then the old office equipment recycled).
I've written a script that determines the objects that belong to an office
based on the router in the remote office. The script updates a collection called
"Garbage" with the appropriate rules. I can have the map administrator manually
remove these items, but it would be ideal for NetView to then delete these
objects based on the Node Down Interval. Using this technique, I can give the
script to operations knowing the worst they can do is run it for an active
office and even then NetView isn't going to delete it unless the office is
actually down.

Subject: Re: node down delete interval (was blank)
I'm not the netmon guy so I am just guessing. But my understanding is that the
node down delete thing would only be checked when a config check was done. Have
you tried demand polling the thing?

Subject:
If I understand the Node Down Delete Interval in the SNMP Configuration Dialog
correctly, I should be able to create a collection that has a node down delete
interval that is very short. For instance, I should be able to place a router
that has been critical into a collection and then specify that nodes within that
collection are to deleted if they've been down for more than 30 minutes.
However when I create a collection with one node that's critical and then
configure the SNMP node down interval to 5 minutes, nothing happens. Does anyone
have an explanation?
Thanks,
