RES: [nv-l] Map Layout by Application

[Marcos Antonio Pezzutti Filho <pezzutti@banespa.com.br>]

Hi Jim

 

Jennifer´s sugestion is good, but I think it won´t work out, cause Scoping is not allowed to Smartsets, only for networks and locations.

If you create another location formed by copied resources isn´t a good choice, cause status of the copies is not syncronized with the original.

Unfortunately you have to find a way to group these devices in locations or networks.

Hi Jim- 

What about making a SmartSet containing all 
of these objects?  Another option could be to use the scoping option on the 
web console security feature to scope users requiring access to only see the 
print components somehow but the SmartSet solution would probably be 
simpler.

We have 
always laid out our NetView map based on location.  We do use 
container
objects
to simplify things, but these are typically cities or 
buildings. We've received
a request for a view
of all the components of 
our printing subsystem. This view would include all of
the central 
servers,
distributed print servers, fax servers and some critical printers, 
and, all of
the networks that
connect them. He'd also prefer that it be 
possible to link to this view from a
web page. Leaving
that last 
requirement aside for the moment, we can think of two ways to do this:

1. 
A second NetView map - we have always avoided this option because of 
the
complications
    involved in maintaining multiple 
maps.
2. A new container object into which the selected components can be 
COPIED and
pasted.
   We tried this approach. It appears that 
the copied objects appear on the
"User" plane
   and do not show 
any connections to each other.

So how can we give this guy his 
application view?  Any suggestions?
