James,
I did what you suggest and received the error below. It does appear that the
enviroment has been corrupted (luckily a sandbox). Do you have any suggestions?
I would like to clear it up without having to reload NetView.

I have never seen this error message before. The update script is trying
to do an ovaddobj command in the background and problems with it are
usually traced to some alteration of the NetView environment after
installation. You could do an ovorsutil -d to see what ORSD thinks your
environment is like and see if you can see something which is wrong,
especially with the hostname or IP address of your NetView box. If you
do, then run /usr/OV/service/reset_ci . If that doesn't help or you cannot
make that work, then I suggest you call Support and open a real problem
with them.

Leslie,
After applying the netmon option to "Always use alternate community names"
I received the following error:
Executing 'Set option for netmon daemon'....

WARNING: Unable to register /usr/OV/lrf/netmon.lrf

I was running NetView as root and rw permsissions were set for netmon.lrf.
Do you know what persmisions the error is referring to?

Vincent, try doing a demandpoll on the node in the map that is
the Netview box. That will force netmon to use the alternates file, and
it should find the right string and add and entry into the place where
Netview stores these things: Options...SNMP Config (aka ovsnmpd.conf
or xnmsnmpconf). Or you can just go there and add it manually. Look
carefully first to see that there is not already an entry in there for it,
either
by name or by address. You want an entry for the NAME.
Don't confuse this with /etc/snmpd.conf. I think of it like this:
/etc/snmpd.conf is for inbound snmp requests. What will aix accept?
ovsnmpd.conf is for outbound snmp requests. What will Netview use?
When you get to the mlm stuff you will probably get into a bigger mess
and then muddle through. I'll tell you right now, I always end up adding
an entry in /etc/snmpd.conf. Aside from allowing 127.0.0.1 to use the
specified string, allow the network address of the box to use it also.
I don't have time to wonder why.
Cordially,

Subject: [NV-L] Alternate Community Names
To All,
summary:
Running as root on system.
The /etc/snmpd.conf file was modified to have a community name "newcomm"
versus public and the Mgr /usr/OV/conf/communityNames.conf to reflect the
"newcomm" and I was not able to snmp poll the system.
detail:
Via Test-->IP/TCP/SNMP connectivity everything check OK for the system
under
test. After changing the Mgr to reflect the modification everything checked
OK.
/usr/OV/conf/communityNames.conf
from:
to :
newcomm
After modifying the agent /etc/snmpd.conf file:
from:
community public
to:
community newcomm
The snmp poll timed-out then the changes were backed out and everything
checked OK.
Then I made all the changes to reflect the new community name and tried
applying the netmon option to turn Always Use Alternate Community Names and
the following error ocurred:
<<...OLE_Obj...>>
<<...OLE_Obj...>>
The permissions on the /usr/OV/lrf/netmon.lrf are 644 wr r r. What is OVs
1-23?
AIX Version 4.3
NetView Version 6.0
Seed file with non-snmp and snmp enabled agents. No ranges (wildcards) are
specified.
Mid-Level Management is beeing implemented.
