Gareth,
Thanks for your reply. Regarding your questions, basically, the problem
must have been an anomaly and has not happened in over 6 months, so at the
present time, the value_info.ovf is growing very slowly. I perform topology
cleanups and nvTurboDatabase procedure when needed - perhaps once a month or
maybe even less frequent. I keep an eye on value_info.pag and other files
and gauge when I need to do a cleanup that way. So really, the problem has
not reoccurred - I was trying to find out if there is a procedure to
compress/shrink/reduce the value_info.ovf file to gain back some space
without causing any harm to the database. As a comparison, my other Netview
which serves as a backup and monitors the same network, never experienced
the problem and has a value_info.ovf file size of 27M (as opposed to 238M
for the one with the problem).
Regards, Lorraine.
