What kind of database maintnance did you do?
Synchronization is the process of ipmap updating the map with changes to
the topology database. He gets that information from ovtopmd.
If you do certain kinds of database maintenance, then you will cause ipmap
to re-synchronize (re-evalute its placement) every object on the map.
See the man page on ovtopofix. If you do "ovtopofix -u" then you cause
ipmap to re-sync the entire map. And the ever-popular ovtopofix -a has the
effect of doing an ovtopofix -u.
I don't know what is normal in your case, and perhaps you should call
Support if this continues, but I have personally seen changes on a big
system which have taken two or more hours to complete synchronization.

Subject: [NV-L] Constant Synchronizing
I am using AIX 4.3.3 NetView 6.0.2
Wehad recently made several major changes to our IP map (deleted many
objects for rediscovery and activation of a location.conf for those
objects)
and now the map seems to be in a constant state of synchronization. Even
after having the R/W map open for 2 hours, it is still in synchronizing
mode. I check the processes (ps -ef | grep OV) and I don't see any real
processing going on. I have shut down the netmon daemon just to make sure
it
wasn't discovering that was causing it, and it did nothing. I have
restarted
the daemons and cleaned up the databases. Any ideas?
Thank You,
