Ken -
I have installed 6.0.2 several times, on several different boxes and I
never saw anything like your problems and no one else has reported anything
like this to my group. I have no explanation for how a binary could
disappear.
I would call Support and get a current pmd at your earliest opportunity,
and I would restore netmon and pursue why he does not start. netmon fixes
are the biggest set of changes in 6.0.2. So running a back-level netmon is
pointless and dangerous. Did you see error messages when you did
ovstatus? Anything in netmon.trace? Is snmpd running?
The problem is TEC is likely due to the fact that you do not have the
correct pre-reqs on your TEC system already. TEC ships with a couple other
baroc files which are pre-reqs to the nvserverd stuff. Perhaps some TEC
guy can tell you exactly what files to load first, but I would go look for
the tecad_nv6k.baroc , which was originally shipped with TEC for their own
adapter, before they stopped supporting it. If that is not there, then try
the baroc file for OpenView, tecad_hpov.baroc. Both o those define the
OVCategoryE , and probably whatever else you are missing for the filters.
I am not certain, because this is TEC, but you may need to load the
tecad_snmp.baroc first to load either of those.

Subject: [NV-L] Problems with installing NV6.0.2 and configuring TEC
logfile adapter
Ok, i give up. HELP. (environment: NV6.0, AIX4.3.3, TMF3.6.2)
First: Taking to heart Mr. Shanks admonition to upgrade NetView from 6.0
to 6.0.2, i tried it with the following result:
(1) somehow the /usr/OV/bin/pmd executable is missing after the patch is
installed. (I fixed it by restoring the previous version. This was
noticed when I tried running the ovstart command after completing the patch
install.)
(2) netmon would not start. ( I fixed it by restoring the NV6.0 version,
29 Dec 3430683 size, compared to the NV6.0.2 version, 22 Jan 3488499 size.)
Things "appear" to be now working normally. Any clues on ramifications of
these 'fixes' ?
Second: I tried configuring the TEC logfile adapter to send "node up/node
down" traps to the TEC. Everything worked on the NetView side but on the
TEC side:
(1) i ran the wimprbclass nvserverd.baroc <using my rulebase> which failed
because TMF3.6.2 doesn't like the 2nd line saying "category: OVCategoryE;".
( i fixed this by deleting this line from the nvserverd.baroc file and it
imported ok.)
(2) i ran wimprbrules nvserverd.rls <using my rulebase> which had multiple
failures on every event filter in the nvserverd.rls. How's come?
Anybody know what's up, what's wrong, what's the fix, what's happenin'?
