Has anyone tried the obvious hack of renaming /usr/OV/conf/ovsnmp.conf and
/usr/OV/conf/ovsnmp.conf_db on the target box and then ftp'ing those over
from the original?
Don't know if this will work but I believe that is essentially what
happens when you make a backup for migration to another box.
If you've migrated all your smartsets with colmaint or something already,
I see no theoretical reason why this wouldn't work, but I have never tried
it.
If it fails, rename your old stuff back and you will have lost nothing.

Subject: RE: [nv-l] SmartSets in SNMPconf ?? [xnmsnmpconf]
Jeff,
Bad news here.
Specifically, we are talking about using xnmsnmpconf -export <myfile> on
the original server.
Copying <myfile> to the new server.
Then executing xnmsnmpconf -import <myfile> on the new server.
This copies everything except smartset definitions.
I questioned this several years ago and was told by support that it is
"working as designed".
They say they don't support exporting/importing smartset snmp definitions
because you might not have the same smartsets defined on the new host and
that would be a problem.
Therefore, we are stuck with manually recreating each and every snmpconf
smartset definition on the new host
This could be very tedious if you have a lot of SNMP config options
defined with smartsets.
Maybe it is time to revisit this issue with support.

I need to copy the SNMPconfg that has SMARTSETS defined, to a new
Netview host.
When I dump the snmpconf it does not contain the SMARTSET configs.
What is the best way to get the SNMPconf with the SMARTSET definition
copied to new host.
I have already copied the SMARTSETS to new host.
Thanks for any help.
