Thx James. Of course it was NetView V4R1 for AIX (according to "Help"). I
know it's rather old one. I did what you advised and it worked.
Now I try to correlate NodeDown/Up events. I know that this topic has been
raised many times on this list but I didn't find a solution for my problem.
I'd like to see NodeDown event and alarm generated provided more than 5 min
has passed since NV discovered the node was down. If there will be NodeUp
event in some time (separated more than 5 min) I want to see it too. In the
other way if there is an event from the same node separated by less then 5
min I don't want to see them both and have generated any alarms.
And the last question: Is there any possibility for changing the way the
data is displayed in the Event window. I mean - can I choose a range of
attributes displayed?
Regards and thanks for any advice.
