The first thing netmon does on startup is load the topology. Nothing shows in
the netmon trace for this, so far as I know. The next thing he does is all the
daily config checks. Only when those are done will he respond to your demand
poll request.
How is demand poll failing? Does it hang or does it just time out?
Are your statuses on the map bad? Are you sure your name resolution is working
OK after the move? That could be critical here.
The only way I know to really tell what netmon is doing if the trace file is
empty is to open a problem to support and get a copy of dbxprof, which will
attache to the running netmon process and take snapshots of the call stack
(though you could do the same with dbx yourself, but you will need someone with
access to the code to tell you what is going on ). So my advice is that you
open a call to Support.

Subject: changing IP address and default gateway
hi!
we want to move over to a new netview server which resides in a different
subnet (new ip address, new default gateway). as we have done a lot of
customizing for our map we are now looking for a possibility to "move" it to
the new server. we have tried to copy /usr/OV/databases/openview/* and
importing the ovsnmp.conf. (followed by "tar" and "pax", followed by
reset_ci, mapadmin -u mapname:newserver, ovmapcount -a and ovtopofix). the
problem is that netmon is not able to demand poll any node (even itself).
toggling netmon trace for ICMP and SNMP requests shows nothing but an empty
netmon.trace file. tcpdump shows that where are no outgoing snmp requests.
"snmpwalk" from the command line to any device is always successful.
any ideas on this?
(our configuration AIX 4.3.2, NV 5.1.1)
TYA, Richard
