Catalina,
The only "clean" way to do this that I can think of:
Assumption: You are not managing over 5000 nodes (or this may cause
performance issue)
1. Configure your AIX box to use /etc/hosts first, then DNS.
2. Write a script that goes through all the nodes that NetView knows about,
does and snmpget of sysname and stores the data in /etc/hosts
(create a collection of just "nodes", then use nvutil to list the
members of that collection to process)
3. After storing the data about the node, it does a demandpoll of the node.
At that time NetView should recognize the new hostname and update the
selection name
I have not tested this, but I think it would be worth a try.
Thanks,

NetView Discussion
Hi All,
Is it possible to get netview to pull the sysName and use it as the
Selection Name on cisco devices and servers(AIX, NT, 2000)?
CiscoWorks can do this and I have been asked to get Netview to do the same.
(from my previous emails, we are trying to get away from the host file)
Any suggestions?
