Just a couple of comments.
First, it is not necessary and it is in fact often a bad thing to
put more than one address of a node in a seedfile, especially
at older code levels. It is Netview's job to find all of the interfaces
on a device, and it will do it just fine with a single entry.
Second, the business of whole nodes being unmanaged when
you unmanage a segment containing one of their interfaces was
accepted as a defect and I believe fixed in 6.0.3.
Third, discovery of things as unmanaged seems to vary from
release to release, and from seedfile to seedfile. There is also
the option in the xnmsnmpconf dialog that contributes to whether
nodes on a particular subnet are discovered managed or not.
I would clean out that seedfile and re-evaluate. If you are making
it off the addresses in the /etc/hosts file, switch to making it off of the
names in the hosts file (which should be the same for all interfaces
on the node) and sort it for unique entries. Or dump out the nodes
you have discovered already and make the seedfile from that.
Cordially,

and submap
display
We have a seed file for some 100+ nodes. Each node has two entries
because a node has two interfaces, an ethernet interface and an FDDI DAS
interface.
When the Netview databases are cleared and the GUI is started we are
getting different results on the submaps. Sometimes the maps show
everything as expected. Other times the maps show that a large part of
the maps is unmanaged.
When it does not work properly the output from ovtopodump shows there
are ethernet and FDDI networks:
CLASS OBJECT ID OBJECT STATUS IP ADDRESS
TOPOINFO 967 IP Internet
NETWORKS 1289 sws.onl.ip Up 10.5.0.0
1499 ods.onl.ip Marginal 10.0.0.0
The output also shows the segments:
SEGMENTS 1290 sws.onl.ip.Segment1 Up
1500 ods.onl.ip.Segment1 Unmanaged
1503 ods.onl.ip.Segment2 Down
1610 omc.onl.ip.Segment1 Unmanaged
1622 sws.onl.ip.Segment2 Up
1638 ods.onl.ip.Segment3 Up
The output for the nodes shows a lot of the nodes as unmanaged - here's
a selection:
NODES 969/968 od02u.sws.onl.ip Up 10.5.34.12
969/1199 od02u.sws.onl.ip Down 10.0.34.12
969/1200 od02u.sws.onl.ip Down 10.0.98.12
969/976 od02u.sws.onl.ip Unmanaged 10.0.162.12
1132/1131 o2222.sws.onl.ip Up 10.5.8.176
1132/1135 o2222.sws.onl.ip Unmanaged 10.0.136.176

1144/1143 o2262.sws.onl.ip Up 10.5.8.212
1144/1137 o2262.sws.onl.ip Unmanaged 10.0.136.212
1146/1145 o2152.sws.onl.ip Up 10.5.8.120
1146/1147 o2152.sws.onl.ip Unmanaged 10.0.136.120
1150/1149 o2212.ods.onl.ip Unmanaged 10.0.136.168
1150/1129 o2212.ods.onl.ip Up 10.5.8.168
1152/1151 o2202.sws.onl.ip Up 10.5.8.160
1152/1139 o2202.sws.onl.ip Unmanaged 10.0.136.160
1164/1163 o2132.ods.onl.ip Unmanaged 10.0.136.108
1164/1159 o2132.ods.onl.ip Up 10.5.8.108
1168/1167 o2142.ods.onl.ip Unmanaged 10.0.136.112
1168/1157 o2142.ods.onl.ip Up 10.5.8.112
1170/1169 o2122.sws.onl.ip Up 10.5.8.96
1170/1171 o2122.sws.onl.ip Unmanaged 10.0.136.96
1174/1173 o2112.sws.onl.ip Up 10.5.8.88
1174/1165 o2112.sws.onl.ip Unmanaged 10.0.136.88
1176/1175 o2032.ods.onl.ip Unmanaged 10.0.136.28
1176/1161 o2032.ods.onl.ip Up 10.5.8.28
When we select the segment that is unmanaged and force Netview to manage
it the status for all the nodes goes to managed.
Anyone have any ideas why we would get wildly different results with the
same seed file?
We are using Netview 5.1.3 on Digital/Compaq TRU 64 UNIX.
Thanks
