Yes, you can increase the description field in trapd.conf to over 99 words
again after you update, if this is what you want to do. But I don't think
it is a good idea. In all the cases I have seen so far the traps with
excessive descriptions could have said the same thing in far less verbiage,
and the description field was filled with information added there by a
vendor who was trying to use it for some other purpose ( like operator
training or version identification). Since this file gets loaded into
storage it is not a good idea to have such a large description in the first
place, but if that is what you want, have at it.
As for ailed install recovery, I thought this was covered in the 6.0
Release Notes and Installation manual in exhaustive detail, because it
depends on how and where your install fails, how you should recover. but
if you are on AIX, I recommend that you just do a mksysb before you start.
Then you can recover the whole system easily and start over any time you
want.

Subject: [NV-L] Problem with NetView update to 6.0 on UNIX
Problem Description:
After checking all the requirements for NetView update to 6.0 from 5.x ,
when we
execute following command:
chktrapd /usr/OV/conf/C/trapd.conf
We got error in /tmp/trapd.confchk
Because we were testing the update we reduce the fields to <99. But we like
to
know is it possible to Install Netview 6.0 or update to NetView 6.0 by
keeping
trapd.conf file as it is (fields > 99)?
Or Is it possible to change the trapd.conf file( fields < 99) for the
installation and after installation make it as it is (fields > 99)? We can
not
loose the information from trapd.conf file.
Another question is also related to update.
Can you let us know if we get error during update installation, How can we
remove only the installed update information and can have our original
version
of NetView in running
condition (as before update )?
Thanks,
Sunit
