First all thanks for your reply.

Are the commands that I am executing in the right order:

ovstop netmon
ovmapcount -a
ovtopofix -a
ovstop ovtopmd
ovtopofix -Cv
ovstart -v -d
ovw -config
ovw -fields
ovw -verify

I am going to transfer the /usr/OV/conf as well. CW2k was moved to another 
server (NT) it used to reside in the NEtview system about 1 yr ago. I realize 
that the backup box is supposed to be a "true" backup but I am upgrading to the 
latest levels so it is actually a test box right now. once i clean up these 
errors then it will be moved to production and the production box will be 
cloned as the backup.

thanks for your help

I am not sure what all you are missing but a backup box should really be a
backup.
That is, you need most, if not all, of /usr/OV/conf.  Yes, you need the
symbols directory, and oid_to_type  and oid_to_sym from the C subdirectory
as well.
I think you need Cisco Works properly installed on both, or you do not have
a real backup

Hello To All,

I have two netview systems: Production| Netview 6.0, Framework 3.6.2, Aix
4.3.2 (used to have CW2000)

Backup: Netview 6.0.2, Framework 3.7.1, AIX 4.3.3.7 (NO CW2k)

I transferred he /usr/OV/databases, /usr/OV/bitmaps, /usr/OV/symbols/
usr/OV/fields from Production to Backup.

When I first opened the map all the cisco symbols and labels were identical
to the Production box.
I added and deleted a few nodes from the seed file and the topology map-on
the backup box.i did a ovtopofix -a, and  a netmon -y. Now when I open the
default map the cisco routers have the default symbols (crossing arrows)
instead  of the 6500 (etc) symbol.

I did :
ovstop netmon
ovmapcount -a
ovtopofix -a
ovstop ovtopmd
ovtopofix -Cv
ovstart -v -d
ovw -config
ovw -fields
ovw -verify

I read the archive for this group and found quite a bit of information. but
they were for V5.0. Has anything changed. Should I add/transfer
/usr/OV/conf/C/symbols directory as well?

Can anyone shed some light into this?

thanks

Catalina
