Running NetView 6.0 under AIX 4.3:
I have 3 main Cisco routers that are not being
discovered, which is new since converting to
NetView 6.0 from NetView 5.1.1. Some things that
I know are:
1. The routers are not in the object database
(according to ovobjprint) after discovery
settles down.
2. For a brief few seconds, one of the routers
(and maybe the others) is in the object database,
but not after that.
3. The router addresses are in the seedfile.
4. I can snmpget and snmpwalk the routers using the
addresses from the seedfile, verifying (I think)
that the entries in ovsnmp.conf are correct.
5. I can ping the routers.
6. I have been doing nv6000_smit automapgen and ovtopofix -a
many times to diagnose this problem.
7. I turned on netmon -M 12 tracing, and it looks like the
routers are returning SNMP data according to entries in
netmon.trace.
8. Another nearby router that is similar in function gets
discovered fine.
I saw a comment (by Leslie) on a previous posting about using the
Turbo form of the databases if routers have more than 20 interface,
however I can't find any reference to 'Turbo' databases in the NetView
for UNIX Installation and Configuration Version 6.0 manual.
Thanks for any help/suggestions, other than going back to Version 5.1.1!
