Hi Frank,
Thanks for your input. Really appreciated
How does installing the Database 6.0 component deletes and re-create the
tables in Oracle?? (I am using Oracle to collect SNMP at the moment) Sounds
a bit scary, or do you mean installing Databse 6.0 will delete all the flat
files that NetView uses?
Jack.

I can answer the questions pertaining to relational databases and
NetView:
Migrating NetView does indeed blow away the RIM object, so it must be
re-created after installation of the upgrade. This means that NetView must
also be re-configured to use the relational database. These steps are the
same in 6.0 as they were in 5.1 so the 5.1 Database Guide is still a valid
resource to consult for the steps to do this.
As for the Database 6.0 component, it may and should be installed on
top of the 5.1 Database component to make sure all the latest RIM software
is available. Note that this will drop and re-create the NetView tables,
so any data that is to be kept from before the upgrade will have to be
backed up using native database backup tools prior to upgrading.
HTH,
Frank

Subject: [NV-L] Netview on solaris upgrade
Hi all,
I am quite new to Netview.
Does anyone has experience of upgrading Netview
5.1.2 to 6 on Solaris? I have read the Installation and Config guide v6. I
have some questions in mind:
- the installation and config guide v6.0 (pg46) indicated that I need to
recreate the RIM after upgrade. Does the migration deletes the RIM??!!
- do I need to re-configure Netview to use Oracle after the migration? It
is
currently using Oracle to store SNMP collect data.
- On the Netview 6.0 CD I can only find the Tivoli Netview Database 6.0.
There is no Tivoli Netview Database update from 5x to 6.0, do I only
upgrade
the server to 6.0 and leave the databse component at 5.1? or should I
install databse 6.0 on top of 5?
- If I choose the migrate ALL files option, does that migrate any
miscellaneous user
files under /usr/OV/? or they will just remain there after the upgrade?
- any other things I should beware of about migrating Netview from 5.1.2 to
6.0?
Ansers to any of these questions would be appreciated.
