I've been there...and it's frustrating isn't it? :-(
Netmon does the discovery, so I found the netmon man page very
enlightening on how it thinks.
Some things to try: is the community string what netview assumes for
that class of device? /usr/OV/bin/xnmsnmpconf will tell you or you
can peek in /usr/OV/conf/ovsnmp.conf
Make sure you're adding the ip address to the actual seedfile, and not
what you assume the seedfile is. I've been duped before into thinking
/usr/OV/conf/netmon.seed was the seedfile only to later visit the
"smitty nv6000">configur>topology>netmon panel and discover that
netmon was using /usr/OV/conf/C/netmon.seed instead. I'd wrongly
assumed there was a system default location for this file when in fact
its fully configurable. :-)
/usr/OV/log/trapd.log and /usr/OV/log/netmon.trace can be helpful if
you have netmon logging enabled. see the netmon man page and
investigate -L and -T flags.
