Subject: [NV-L] MLM questions
Hello,
I am learning to use MLM, I read the MLM user guide and did some config,
but
I am quite confused about the following:
I have one MLM installed and monitored by a main Netview box.
- I took off the polling from Netview box to MLM, if something managed by
MLM is down, MLM will automatically send a trap to the main Netview box?
> Yes.
- In the main Netview box, I would not be able to see any nodes on maps
managed by MLM, am I right?
> No. Just the opposite. All nodes managed by MLM will be shown on the
NetView map.
> That's what it is for -- to extend the range of Netview, not limit it.
> If you want nodes exlcuded, you need to exclude them via the seedfile.
- I clicked on the MLM on the NV box, Monitor -> MLM -> status monitoring
->
current status. I have a unknown status for one node. I don't understand
why?
> You'll have to figure that one out by looking at the logs in
/vad/adm/smv2/log
- what the hack is the Alias table for? Does it have to have NV.x.x.x.n
entries?
> Click on them to resolve them. You will see that they are groups of
nodes/interfaces that Netview
> already knows about. That's why they start with NV.
Thanks for your help.
Jack
