Yes, would rediscover those nodes whose names no longer
resolve.
And the fully qualified name will be used for the Selection Name,
but
the map will show the name only up to the first dot. Is that not
what
you are seeing?

Thanks Leslie. One more question: It is best to delete the these
particular
servers and have netmon rediscover them?
Management is
moving away from /etc/hosts file or using Netview Box as a
dns server. They
will keep win2k dns for win2k servers and
internal/external dns servers on
separate boxes.
When Netview discovers devices and resolves them via a
separate dns server
it puts the fully qualified name. Is there a way to
shorten the name on the
map/icons?
I guess I had 2 questions..
Thanks.....:)

That is a feature. Names are not removed when resolution stops
working.
However, you will find that functions such as 'Monitor..MIB
Values...System
Information' will no longer work because the commands they
issue try to
resolve the Selection Name to an IP address. The same is true of
lost
SNMP access. The field info will still say that it is SNMP-supported.
The
moral of the story is that you should check periodically to make sure
that
you have not lost function due to such external changes. I hang a
simple
script off the Reports menu that can be run against a Smartset to look
for
such losses by issuing an snmpget of the sysname mib variable for
each
node.

Hello,
I am running Netview
6.0.2, AIX 4.3.3, Framework 3.7.1
There are particular Win2k servers that
are registered in the win2k dns but
not in our internal dns nor the /etc/host
file. Ok, so I kept getting node
down/up traps because apparently netview was
having problems resolving the
names.
I did the following tests:
I
added 1 server to the host file to test.did a demand poll name was
updated
and all the traps stopped. Good.
Now I went and removed the name
from the host file. demand poll. The named
of the server remained.
I
did an nslookup no name found(forward and reverse). I did a host lookup
not
found.
Question: why did the name remain on the icon label. why does
netview still
recognize the name?
Thanks in
advance
