Then in this case the shadow means that you have violated the cut-and-paste
rules and placed an object on the map where it doesn't belong, so it gets a
shadow to indicate that ipmap is not going to keep track of its status for
you. You have created a symbol in the "user-plane" as opposed to the
"application plane". In the case of the new location symbol, you need to
create those on the IP Internet map at the highest level, where the routers
are. You cannot start at a lower level. And the cut-and-paste of the
object, whatever it was, was also not on the correct level.
You might profitably spend a little time reviewing the cut-and-paste rules
in the map customization section of the NetView Admin Guide.

I ran the ovtopofix with no results.
The objects were created a couple of ways. One, I created a location
container in a submap. The second, an object was in the new object
holding area and I cut and pasted to the location I wanted it. Both of
these scenarios produce the shadow.

You have nothing to lose by trying ovtopofix. It won't break anything. It
is a maintenance utility and you can learn about it through the man page or
the books. How did this locations symbol get created, bu location.conf or
by you, by hand? Is it on the Internet submap?

I am running 6.01 and still experiencing the problem.
Would running ovtopofix help in this case?

I would expect that if you were on 6.0, used the location.conf file, and
did
not do an ovtopofix before trying to add something, or do a cut and paste.
This problem is fixed in 6.01.

Subject: [NV-L] New Object has shadow
When I create a new location container on a submap, it has a shadow
around it. The system has been synschronized after the addition and
the shadow still exists.
Any ideas?
