I would reboot.
A quick look at /etc/services will tell you the well-known ports used by
Netview, and then you can do a netstat -a and see which ones are in use.
If you see a bunch in CLOSE WAIT status, then your operating system is
being slow in freeing them up and until he does that you will get that same
failure. Sounds to me like you need AIX maintenance though I cannot
recommend anything specific. If you don't see the CLOSE WAITs and you
still get that message then you would have to get some kind of tool like
lsof (which you can get off the web) to determine who has the port you
need.
Rebooting will force AIX to free everything up and start over.
If you have continuing problems, I would open a call to Support. And I
would put on 6.0.1 as soon as possible, even though I know of no
maintenance in there to help with this problem, because that would make you
current and easier for NetView Level 2 to help you.

Subject: [NV-L] Problems getting it going again...
Hi. We are running Netview v6.0 on AIX 4.3. I was working happily
displaying the map to my workstation via X Windows. Then I received a
yellow warning window that said "/usr/OV/bin/dispsub: Error peeking the
message received from the communication services socket". I clicked "OK"
on it and it went away. I then exited Netview, only to find that it
wouldn't start back up. Through multiple "ovstop" iterations, I've gotten
it to the point that "ovstart" produces:
# ovstart
object manager name: ovwdb
behavior: OVs_WELL_BEHAVED
state: FAILED
PID: 7936
last message: Could not get port for ovwdb, likely one already
running
exit status: -
There is not another ovwdb process running that I can find.
Does anybody have any insight or ideas to get this going again?
