Catalina, the other discussion was about Netview-generated
events, which
come only when the nodes are managed in at least one map. If
you are
really talking about events (traps) FROM unmanaged nodes, that is
another
story. Managed or unmanaged or not even in the map, unsolicited
traps
need to be turned off at the sending device. There is an options on
the
events display to suppress traps from unmanaged nodes, but that's on
a
per-user basis and you set it each time you open the map.
For
porting your map from test to production: This will work if your
two
machines
are reasonably close in address (eg same subnet). You will
need to take
the whole database (/usr/OV/databases/openview) as well as
the seedfile
and location.conf and the snmp configuration (read up on
xnmsnmpconf -exp).
And any other customization you have done. Read about the
backup and
restore of the database in the diag manual (I think). Use pax for
the
restore.
And... /usr/OV/service/reset_ci after restoring to handle the
change in
address
and name within the database. You will also need
to run the mapadmin
command. Yes, practice would be a good
idea.

Subject: Re: [NV-L] Events from unmanaged
nodes
John
I am running Netview 6.0 on AIX 4.3.2, I am
getting events from unmanaged
nodes. How do I change this? I am in the
process of installing 6.0.2 and
4.3.3 on a test box to move it to
production.
How do you I stop receiving events from unmanaged nodes
without turning
off discovery?
Also,How do I import the IP maps from
the production box to my test box?
Should I just bring in the
location.conf and netmon.seed? The maps have
been customized and I
really don't want to have to recreate them. We have
so many devices and
icons that the person before me cut, pasted, hide many
icons. The
location.conf and netmon.seed files do not hide all the
objects. I am
still new at this so maybe I should practice...
Any
Suggestions?

I see the same on
NetView 6.01 for NT; the only way I found to avoid
pinging
thousands
of unmanaged workstations was to turn off discovery and
delete
them.
On AIX, unmanaging nodes _does_ stop netmon pinging
them - surely it is
supposed
to work the same way on
NT?
