The map will be read-only if NetView thinks that it belongs to another
machine.
There are commands you can use to manipulate the map.
Start with ovwls Read the man page. "ovwls -a" will list all the maps
on your machine and who owns them. If the hostname given is the old box,
then change it with mapadmin. Again read the man page. " mapadmin -u
<hostname> " will set the owning host to your box if you give it the
proper hostname.
If that's correct, how about the permissions lists with ovwls? The man
page on ovwls also discusses ovwperms, which allows you to change them,
and you can do "ovwls -?" to see usage notes.
Hope this helps

Subject: [nv-l] NV713: read only maps..
Importance: High
Hi all,
We have a NV 713 running on solaris box. We had done a server migration of
NV 713 from an existing system to a new one. And ran the reset_ci command
from the /usr/OV/service directory. As the earlier Netview serevr was
bound to a different IP address and Hostanme, it started working and has
started functionally normally, except that the default map shows as read
only map. When I start the netview from CLI I give netview ?dconsole and
it opens the default map which I have customized and it works properly , I
saw some new machines discovered so when I tried to drag and drop the same
to the map it said moves are not allowed onto the readonly map or
snapshots. I checked the ovwls and saw all permissions are rw for default.
I had saved some maps which I had created and opened them and they are
very well editable and all. But the default its not possible. How to solve
this?? How can I reedit or make this read-write map.
TIA
Regards,
Mithun Prabhu
