That oid statement ALLOWs the discovery of hp devices. Removing it,
and adding the list of hp nodes only switches you from allowing all hp
devices to allowing (and forcing) specific hp devices. Either way should
work. So that leads me to wonder 1) if new node discovery is enabled
(Options..Topology..) and 2) if you have snmp access to those devices.
Check this at the commandline:
snmpwalk xx.xx.xx.xx system
where xx.xx.xx.xx is the address of one of the systems. If you don't get
a nice response back, then you don't have snmp access, at least using
the community defined as the global default in Options...SNMP. Try
some different communities (snmpwalk -c <community> xx.xx.xx.xx system)
and if you find one that works, add it to /usr/OV/conf/communityNames.conf.
(Those alternates are not used with snmpwalk and undiscovered nodes,
only the global default.)
Worst case you might have to log into one of them and check the snmp
configuration. I don't know how to configure snmp on hp, but someone else
here will surely help you with that (and I will file the note when they
do!)

Subject: RE: [NV-L] Discovery of HP Devices
Leslie, The other day I removed the statement '@oid 1.3.6.1.4.1.11.* #
HP' and left the 1.1.1.*. Appended specific HP Server IP addresses to
seedfile, issued netmon -y command. Still no collection of HP servers. SNMP
should be running on these servers. Any suggestions?

Jean, the first entry (1.1.1.*) is effectively preventing the discovery
of things that are not explicitly listed in the seedfile. So you can either
take that out, or list the HP devices you want found. If you take out the
range (1.1.1.*), you open yourself up to the creation of lots of small
stub objects in the database. They won't show up in the map, or in
the output of 'ovtopodump -l' but they will show up in the output of
'ovobjprint -S' and could affect performance if you are constrained.
So it is a little trade-off. If you leave the range in, and add the list of
HP devices, the HP devices will be found. Then you can take them
out of the list if you want to.

Subject: [NV-L] Discovery of HP Devices
We are running Netview 5.1.3 on AIX 4.3.2. The seedfile was set to restrict
discovery to oid 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.* for all cisco routers. Now Netview needs
to
discover HP devices as well. The HP oid was added to the seedfile, issued
netmon -y but these HP devices are not getting discovered.
Topology/Status Polling Config has all discovery turned on. Any suggestions
as to why these devices are not getting discovered?
# Allow discovery in these ranges only
1.1.1.*
# Allow discovery of only these OIDs
@oid 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.* # Cisco
@oid 1.3.6.1.4.1.11.* # HP
#
# Force the discovery of these nodes
# ( append lists of devices here if needed)
Thanks in advance for your help.
