Greetings Everyone.

NetView for Unix 6.0.2 running on AIX 4.3.3.8 w/ IY22983 netmon efix,
IY15764 libovsnmp.a efix, IY21527 CERT advisory efix.

Here's my dilemna:
A user noticed that an HP switch object was not in the SmartSet for HP
switches. When I investigated I noticed there were only 64 objects displayed
in the SmartSet. I tested  the SmartSet editor and the missing object is
displayed in the list. When I exited the editor and refreshed the map - it
was still not displayed. I then ran the command 'nvUtil l HPSWITCH
"%Selection Name%"'. The object is listed. If I run the command 'nvUtil l
HPSWITCH "%Selection Name%" | wc -l', the count is 70. I even reset nvcold
but that had no effect.

The SmartSet uses the sysObjectID of 1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.3.7.11.18 or
1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.3.7.11.19. Another indication is that the object is truly
an HP switch is that I created a new symbol for this HP switch, then I
configured the oid_to_sym file and the symbol is correctly assigned to all
HP Switch objects in the SmartSet. 

The HP switches use DHCP IP address assignment. The device name is not in
DNS. The community name for the switch is specified in the
communityNames.conf file; it is not the Global Default community name.
NetView has added the entry into the SNMP Configuration Specific Nodes
section. 

Does anyone have an idea for what seems to be a SmartSet and nvUtil
discrepancy?

Thanks in advance.
