Another thought. Usually netmon -y is enough, especially since you
say you did this the other day. But I would just stop/start netmon, being
impatient. I take it they still have not shown up?

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.
