I'm puzzled
that it would delete things, but it would have to be as a
result of
the
configuration polling done at netmon startup. Possible name
resolution
differences? Do they have the same /etc/resolv.conf files?
Possible
snmp access differences between the test position (sounds like it
was good)
and the production postion? Remember that your old production box,
at that
same
address, had been running for some time. Perhaps
it had lost snmp access
to
some devices, but was not showing the
effects of it, and now your new box
is
suffering from the same loss but it
IS showing it (because the map is so
nice).
Perhaps there were some nodes
that Netview could see 'better' from the new
position, and discarded its old
view in favor of the new view? It could be
a number of things. But remember
my rule: 99% of the time (well, maybe
90%),
if Netview is doing something
goofy, there is something goofy in your
network.
Anybody
else?
Cordially,

Subject: [NV-L] Problems with changing IP
Address of Netview server
Hello,
I moved
my deployment box to production running AIX 4.3.3.7,
Netview
6.0.2, Framework 3.7.1. but when i brought up netview gui, the
IP Internet
map changed ; it did not keep some of my
customization.
The Old production box and the backup box were on the
same subnet and all
I did was.
1) brought down the "old production"
box running Netview 6.0 and Framework
3.6.2-disable it at the port and
cleared the arp cache of the router.
2) followed the procudures on page
41-42 of the release notes 6.0 to
change the ip address of the
server. (added a 1).
3)the hostname did not change.
4) when i brought
Netview up. some of the nodes on the IP internet map
disappeared. and I
ended up with a lot of new objects in the holding area.
Before I
moved it into production, the "deployment" box was doing snmp
gets and
polling. I used a seed and location file and the maps
were
"perfect". It was running side by side with the production box for
a
couple of days without any problems. Why did the map change
so
drastically?
Can someone explain what
happened?
Thanks
