Thanks for your help Leslie,
I have tried changing the MLM assigned subnet, from the collection editor
and it seems to pick all the elements correctly. Perhaps someone can give a
clue about the other two questions:
My questions are:
1) How can be achieved a better transition from Openview to Netview. My plan
is to install a Netview MLM module on the HP node, what other things can be
considered ?
2) How is MLM working on HP-UX. ? Has someone had practical experiences ?
Regards/Saludos
