Adam,
This doesn't seem right.  If one interface goes down, and the other one is
still up... I would think you would get one interface-down, and one
Node-Marginal.

A node-down should only happen if all interfaces are down, or the last one
goes down, and the rest are unmanaged.

All,

Netview for AIX v 5.1.2 and AIX 4.3.2.

On my Netview installation, I am looking for a way to distinguish from a
interface up/down and a node up/down.

For example, I have a server with two interfaces.  Should one of these
interfaces go down or become unavailable, I show in my events viewer two
events
associated with with that interface down: a Netview interface down and a
Netview
node down.  Since my management is being paged with node downs, but not
interface downs, they think the world is ending when they get paged with a
node
down when it is actually just an interface.

Is there a way to have Netview distinguish that just the interface is down,
and
not the whole node?
