Re: [nv-l] Load mibs

["James Shanks" <jshanks@us.ibm.com>]

Loading a MIB will not alter trapd.conf in NetView.  Never has.   You must run  /usr/OV/bin/mib2trap  to create an addtrap script which, if there are TRAP-TYPE or NOTIFICATION-TYPE statements in that MIB file, can then be used to update trapd.conf. 

If you look at trapd.conf with xnmtrap and click OK when you leave, this will change the date on trapd.conf, as it is saved again. 

I don't understand what "MIBS" is.   If you want your new MIB o be copied into /usr/OV/snmp_mibs, you must do that yourself.
You didn't say whether your MIB is SNMP V1 Or SNMP V2.  Remember that if V2, and you use xnmloadmib2 to load it, then you must use xnmbrowser2 to view it.  There are two loaders and two browsers and they do not share the same database.

Hope this helps

Netview 6.0.2
AIX 4.3

We are trying to ad mibs from veritas netbackup datacenter 3.4.2.
We have a Mib file. We use load mib but we don't see anything new in the
trapd.conf or MIBS.
But the trapd.conf file have change date.

What are we doing wrong ?
