Things impatient people do while they are waiting for nodes to appear:
1) Look for bits of the new node:
ovobjprint -s Interface:10.183.130.26
What you might see is an object with only the Selection Name and
the the IP Hostname fields. I think that's what they call a Hint. It
usually
means that netmon knows about it and will finish discovering it when
it gets around to it.
2) Poke netmon to see what it is up to:
pingstatus.sh:
#!/bin/ksh
#set -x
rm /usr/OV/log/netmon.trace
netmon -a 12
sleep 3
if [ -f /usr/OV/log/netmon.trace ]; then
echo "Netmon is " `grep [-].*[:] /usr/OV/log/netmon.trace | \
wc -l ` "behind in status pinging";
else
echo "Netmon is too busy to report now. Try later."
fi
exit
snmpstatus.sh:
#!/bin/ksh
#set -x
rm /usr/OV/log/netmon.trace
netmon -a 16
sleep 3
if [ -f /usr/OV/log/netmon.trace ]; then
echo "Netmon is " `grep [-].*[:] /usr/OV/log/netmon.trace | \
wc -l ` "behind in snmp polling"
else
echo "Netmon is too busy to report now. Try later."
fi
exit
3) Look over his shoulder:
netmon -M -1
tail -f /usr/OV/log/netmon.trace
If it does not show anything, it is too busy to turn on tracing.
You got in too late.
4) Really desperate - get right in there and watch netmon from the
startup:
Use smit to turn on tracing at startup, and tail netmon.trace
You would be surprised how much it has to to at startup, and how
big an effect name resolution has on that work. If it is not flashing
by too fast to read, you have a problem there.
5) When was the last time you did an ovtopofix? Maybe that will help. It
usually does it for me.
Also, keep in mind that a WAN link is two routers. Maybe they are already
there by other names. Locate...Object..by Attribute (IP Address).

Subject: [NV-L] Discovering Far Side of WAN Link
We have a WAN link (10.183.130.25 our side, 10.183.130.26 far side) that I
can't discover on my AIX NetView. I have both devices in the seedfile and
have restarted netmon and waited and waited and waited. Where can I look
for logging for discovery? Any other ideas?
Thanks
