Good morning!

Running NetView 6.0.1, AIX 4.3.2
Approx. 40000 objects in database, ovwdb cache-size set to 80000
nvTurboDatabase speed was run (repeatedly)
"Resolve database inconsistencies" is run repeatedly as well
Our box: S7A, 4 processors, 8 GB memory, 5 hdisks, the works...

We already have a case open with support,
but maybe someone else too is experiencing something like that:

Vodoo #1:

Running...

echo `date` `nvUtil e "(('CorrStat3' = 'TESTING'))"|wc -l`

...repeatedly from the CLI gives...

Vodoo #2:

One of our favourite collections goes like this (nvUtil g NEWSTUFF)...

SmartSet: NEWSTUFF
Description: newly discovered stuff
Rule: (('IP Status' = 'Unmanaged') && (!('isInterface' = 'TRUE')) && 
(!('CorrStat2' = 'UNMAN')))

...and strange things happen all the time...

* nvUtil l NEWSTUFF (CLI) gives a list of nodes/networks/segments.
* double-clicking the "NEWSTUFF-egg" (GUI) shows NOTHING!
* Delete/Symbol NEWSTUFF - "repopulate it" (double click) - here they are?

And sometimes even that does not work.
* nvUtil l NEWSTUFF shows new stuff.
* Deleting and "repopulating" the "NEWSTUFF-egg" a zillion times shows nothing!?

"Solution" :-( stop all GUI's / ovstop / ovstart / restart all GUI's...

Vodoo #3:

Normally ovwdb- and nvcold-daemons are running "hand-in-hand",
i.e. their CPU-usage is approx. the same.

And all of a sudden the following happens:

ovwdb starts "eating up CPU" (CPU-usage around 25% all the time)
nvcold "goes to sleep" (CPU-usage less than 1% all the time)
no more updates of "Collection-eggs" (GUI)...
nvUtil G (CLI) takes "hours" to complete...

"Solution" :-( stop all GUI's / ovstop / ovstart / restart all GUI's...

Any ideas and comments welcome.

Thank you, Ralph
