If you are moving from one machine with NetView installed to another machine
with NetView installed, at the same level, then you can move the databases by
tarring up /usr/OV/databases/openview and ftping to the new box, though I would
use pax, rather than tar, to unpack it in order to preserve the sparse file
system structure of the databases. You can use tar to unpack but you use more
space on the new box than you did on the old. This has been covered here
before, many times.
For example, you could do this
cd /usr/OV/databases/openview
tar -cvf <filename> * this tars up everything into
your file
pax -vf <filename> (same as tar -tvf <filename>) you can use pax or
tar to see the contents of your file
pax -rp e -f <filename> (like tar -xvf <filename>) restore with
pax and don't forget the 'e' option to restore the permissions.
You should stop at least netmon and snmpCollect, and have no maps open when
you make the backup, and when you restore all the daemons should be down.
Then you must start the daemons and run /usr/OV/service/reset_ci to tie the
migrated databases to the new machine.
You can also just tar up, ftp, and untar all of usr/OV/conf,
usr/OV/registration, or even
all of usr/OV to preserve all your other files and customization if you wish.
But you must have NetView already installed on the target machine already
because otherwise
you will not have any connection to the framework or snmpd or startup. And
you'll have to
make arrangements if you have any 3rd party products installed as well.

ok with that being said, I need to move my netview server from one TMR to
another. Is there a recommended way to do it without having to rediscover?
will baking up the directories below and the database dir be enough to tar up
and install after it is in the new tmr?
Regards,
Philip

Hello all,
I have loaded mibs and added traps on one nv6000 server v5.1.2 AIX and
would like to configure another new NV6000 v5.1.2 AIX server with the same
loaded mibs and traps configuration, would it be possible to copy
/usr/OV/snmp_mibs, /usr/OV/conf/trapd.conf, /usr/OV/conf/snmpv2mib,
/usr/OV/conf/snmpv2mib.bin on to this new server and run with that
configuration ?
Thankyou Greg Adams
