If I want to change the symbols for previously discovered nodes, I do
this (the brute force method)
1) update the files, run ovw -config, etc.
2) stop netmon
3) delete the nodes from all submaps
4) ovtoopofix -a
5) close the map
6) stop the rest of the daemons
7) restart everything.
When the nodes get rediscovered, they have the new symbols.
Somethimes the ones in the Smartsets don't get them, since they get
shoved in there before they are fully created. In that case I delete the
egg for the Smartset and it comes back with the current symbols used
in the IP map. The point is that I don't expect new symbols to be applied
to old nodes. Maybe it should, and maybe it will eventually, but I'm not
that patient.
Cordially,

Subject: Re: [NV-L] New Symbols or Bitmaps not working with 6.0.1?
I am not aware of any changes having to do with bitmaps. But I would have
restarted more than netmon. smartsets are handled by nvcold. If
restarting all the daemons doesn't help, then call Support, because I
cannot think of what else to do.

Subject: [NV-L] New Symbols or Bitmaps not working with 6.0.1?
Hello Everyone,
I'm trying to create a bitmap for a specific HP hub on my NV 6.0.1 (on AIX
4.3.3) server. I actually successfully used the same bitmaps on an NV 6.0
server. The OID is 1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.3.7.5.20 or 1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.3.7.5.21.
The method I used on both is:
1) created the bitmap and mask files using bitmap. I created a 38x38 and
scaled them to 20x20, 26x26, 32x32,44x44& 50x50.
2) updated the oid_to_type file
3) updated the /usr/OV/symbols/C/Device file because it is in the Net
Devices class
4) ovwexit
5) Stopped netmon daemon
6) Ran the ovw -config, ovw -fields and ovw -verify
7) Restarted netmon
If I test my bitmaps with the xsetroot -cursor bitmap.name mask.name
command, and the cursor changes to my bitmap correctly. Also the bitmap
appears correctly in the Help/Legend/Net Devices class. However, when I
create a Smartset for the OID - the objects use the Connector class,
multiport hub bitmap.
Has something changed with 6.0.1 that would cause this problem or am I
forgetting to perform a step?
Thanks very much.
