Daniel, this is to make a backup of the Tivoli database so that you
can roll the patch back off if you need to. It is not a backup of the
Netview
database. Are you using the Tivoli desktop to do this? It would be
under Desktop..Backup. By default it should be trying to put the backup in
the Tivoli backups directory, which is /tivoli/backups on your system.
Make sure tivoli is up and running on the netview server (odadmin odlist).
Make sure your Tivoli environment is sourced (echo $DBDIR). I think
this is set up to be run from your .kshrc, with 'export ENV=$HOME/.kshrc'
in
your .profile.
You are having some sort of environmental problem, I think. You should
be able to install the patch without taking the backup, but it would be
best
to solve this problem first. If you can't get it working, you should call
support.
Cordially,

=================================================================================
We've got NV 5.1.0 installed and I am trying to get 5.1.2 installed. In
the
instructions it says to
use the wbkupdb command to backup the db's and I've been getting this error
message:
wbkupdb -d /tmp/nvdb
A program used to save the backup image on the managed node snmpman failed
with
exit status 1 (Fri Jan 14 10:31:32 CST 2000 (18): `freopen' failed with
code `21
': `/tmp/nvdb').
Backup Failed.
Am I doing something wrong? Do I need to have a fix before I apply this
fix?
