Don't forget about which interface the node was discovered by.
Perhaps Netview discovered it by the nearest serial, and you
have only resolved the loopback or the ethernet in the /etc/hosts
file. You can correct this by adding entries for the same name
with additional addresses. Then demandpoll. Remember
that the first entry in /etc/hosts prevails.
Cordially,

Well, if your map has IP addresses instead of names for nodes (we are
talking about nodes, not interfaces, right?) then something was wrong with
your name resolution when these things were discovered. I don't know why
they are not changing now when you demand poll -- this is not my area of
the product to work on. Could you have set the button to disallow ipmap
to override your customization under Edit --> Modify/Describe --> Map ->
Configure IP map ? That's just a guess. In any case, if name resolution
is working now, then deleting and rediscovering the object should get the
label correct .\
Hope this helps

I did it and it is OK.
The 2 give the same results.
I did a demand poll on that node and the last line it give me is the name
of that node.
But in the map it still show me the IP adress of the node, not the name.

Re: [nv-l] Name resolution in Map
Does your /usr/OV/bin have an executable called nvgethost? if so, it does
the same kind of name resolution that NetView does -- gethostbyname and
gethostbyaddr. Just type "nvgethost <name>" and then "nvgethost
<address>". They should give you the same result. If they don't, then
your /etc/host file is incorrect for that name and address.

Subject: [nv-l] Name resolution in Map
Hi,
Netview 6.2 on aix 4.3.2
I have some problems with name resolution in my Map.
All my equipments are in a host file on the server.
But some of my equipment are listed with IP address and some with the name
of the equipment (Resolution made with the hosts file.).
I wonder why every equipment is not there with the name of the equipment
....
Can someone help me troubleshoot that ?
Ben
