I cannot answer for who installed what or why or why they did not follow up
with 6.0.2 which became generally available in April.
6.0.2 is a patch and you install it via the Framework using Install Patch,
just as 6.0.1 was installed. There are instructions in the Release Notes
(the same as in 6.0.1) on how to take a snapshot in case you might want to
remove the patch after install, but no migration needs to be done in
advance. You can always tar up /usr/OV and save it somewhere if you are
worried about losing something but I know of no installation issues with
6.0.2.
I would contact the people who did your install and request 6.0.2 or you
can obtain 6.0.2 on CD by sending a note to the appropriate ordering
center. In Europe this is the Copenhagen Tivoli Software Ordering Center:
tivoli@dk.ibm.com. Give them your customer number, your company name and
shipping address, a contact name and phone number, and they should send it
to you.

Subject: RE: [NV-L] Loading MIBs
That doesn't sound good. This is the version Tivoli installed for us. We do
not have a 6.0.2 CD. Is 6.0.2 shipped as a CD? Or is it a patch to
6.0/6.0.1 a la Tivoli Framework...
Does this mean I will have to scrap my installation and re-install 6.0.2?

No one should be using 6.0.1 or 6.0. You should go to 6.0.2 because that
is the only level of Version 6 that is truly supported. Once 6.0.2 shipped
it was committed on the build machines and it became the base level of
code. We cannot duplicate earlier levels and the code you have already
does not match what is the basis for our diagnostic efforts should you
encounter a code problem.
You are correct that the 6.0.1 Release Notes do not mention the new
trapd.conf available for merging. This was added in 6.0.2 Release Notes.
Because 6.0.1 (and 6.0.2) are maintenance releases and do not require a
migration, there is no automatic mechanism for the merge to occur.

Thanks for the info James,
However, I found no reference to merging the trapd.conf in
/usr/OV/newconfig/OVSNMP-RUN with the one
in /usr/OV/conf/C in our copy of the release notes, but we are using 6.0.1.
Maybe it's only in the 6.0.2 release notes.
I will follow the instructions under nvaddreapdconf in the man pages and
see it that fixes up these "trap found with no format..." messages

The entire trap for which no known format is found is spelled out in the
trapd.log immediately following that message.
It tells you the enterprise number, the generic id, the specific id, and
all the variables.
You don't really need a MIB to define it. You can just create an entry in
trapd.conf using xnmtrap yourself. If you want to find a MIB that defines
it, then I guess you will have to search for it. But even if you find the
MIB, loading it alone will not define the trap. You must run mib2trap
against the MIB, which produces an addtrap script you run to update
trapd.conf.
You haven't told us what level of code you are running but I am assuming
6.0.2 because this is a new install.
Did you merge the trapd.conf in /usr/OV/newconfig/OVSNMP-RUN with the one
traps uses in /usr/OV/conf/C as directed in the Release Notes for 6.0.2?
/usr/OV/newconfig/OVSNMP-RUN/trapd.conf adds about a hundred new Cisco
traps to trapd.conf. Make sure you do the merge with nvaddtrapdconf
before you go looking so that you don't re-invent the wheel.
You can post your trapd.log excerpt here and see if anyone recognizes the
trap.

We have a Cisco 1720 router which continually reports events with "? Trap
found with no known format in trapd.conf(4)".
I have been to Cisco's web page to download a suitable MIB, but there some
50 files available. How do I work out which one to load?
