Subject: [NV-L] "Re: Web Client required to be Read Only"
Sarah,
If you want to disable mib browsing via the web client, I have a
suggestion, assuming your environment is similar to my AIX 4.3.3, NV6.0.1.
Make a backup copy and edit your /usr/OV/lrf/mibserver.lrf. Change
OVs_YES_START to OVs_NO_START. De-register & then re-register mibserver
with ovdelobj mibserver, then ovaddobj mibserver.
Clean the unused garbage from your ovsuf file with smitty nv6000,
Maintain, Reset Startup Files, Remove unused records from ovsuf startup
file.
OR,
Clean ovsuf as above, then, after making a backup copy, edit the
0:mibserver: line in your /usr/OV/conf/ovsuf from OVs_YES_START to
OVs_NO_START.
Both tactics prevent the mibserver daemon, required by the web client mib
browser, from starting automatically along with all the other NetView
daemons, or when typing just ovstart. Web client users will get an
"Unable to connect to server..." message when trying the mib browser. You
will still be able to start it with "ovstart mibserver".
I've resorted to this because of conflicts between Nways 2.1 Element
Manager and the NV6.0.1 web client mib browser; if one works the other
doesn't, and I need Nways more than the web client mib browser.
Credit for this suggestion go to Leslie Clark, who sent it to me for
dealing with my Nways/web mib browser problem.
