I would guess that netmon was very busy and would turn on tracing to see
what it is doing. That's usually what it means when the demandpoll dialog
hangs there empty, in my experience. If it won't answer to a 'netmon -a 3'
then it probably also won't answer to a 'netmon -M -1', so you would have
to change it at the daemon startup (use smitty nv6000 or serversetup).
Last time I did that for the problem you describe I found that it was
working
over the seedfile, which contained a few thousand devices. I cut that back
to just the rules and netmon could get on with its work.

Subject: [NV-L] Network problems preventing status polling and discovery??
Hi. We are running Netview 6.0.2 on AIX. I am having trouble getting
Netview to perform a discovery, or at least it is very inconsistent. For
the last couple of days, we have been fighting other problems that have
been making network response times very slow for applications. I'm
theorizing that some of our network problems are causing Netview to timeout
on SNMP polls, etc.
Along with this, any demand poll I've tried, just sits there. I'm also
theorizing that this might be related, and that it is simply retrying and
timing out, but I'm not sure.
I'm looking for ways to prove these theories. Does anybody have any ideas
on how to do that? I've struggle to find the answers in the archives of
this list so far.
Thanks.
