How much info is in the database for that node? Just the first two fields,
or a few more? Is it
possible that your nways still has knowledge of it and is preventing
rediscovery? Even
though it is Cisco, it might be in the Generic or Cisco objects under the
Nways topology.
Also check your Collections for signs of it or its interfaces.
Cordially,

Subject: [NV-L] Rediscovery Problem
Greetings to the List,
I'm hoping someone here can help me with a problem I'm having
rediscovering a reconfigured Cisco 7500 router.
The IP addresses on the token ring and ethernet interfaces were swapped;
old token ring addresses are now ethernet and old ethernet addresses are
now token ring. The interfaces were not shut down during the swap. After
the swap a new icon for this router appeared in the "New Object Holding
Area" while the original icon remained in the original submap. I deleted
the original icon/object from all submaps and now NetView refuses to
rediscover this router. I also deleted the "old" networks this router was
attached to. These networks were rediscovered immediately and with the
correct topology symbols.
Hosts and seedfile were updated during the swap. I can snmpwalk, ping and
telent to the router, but nmdemandpolling by name or IP address skips
saying the node is not found.
Multiple ovtopofix -A and ovtopofix -r 's with netmon & ipmap stopped,
seem to have no effect. Ovtopofix -A does report a lot of "Cleaning up
Interface" on this router.
Ovobjprint -s lists limited information about this router. Is there a way
I can purge all references to the router from tha databases, or what else
should I try?
This is NetView 5.1.3 on AIX 4.2.1.
Thanks in advance!
