When they browse this MIB with the OpenView browser, which label is used?
Did you ask them that?
That MIB is in error. There can be no doubt about that. Two labels
define exactly the same OID. Which should you use?
It CANNOT be both. Any book on SNMP will tell you that. There is a
one-to-one correspondence between a label and an OID.
So it must be that HP's compiler makes the decision for you of which one
to use. Either it takes the first one it encounters and throws the next
one away, or more likely, it throws the first one away and uses the
second. Either way it is arbitrary.
The only difference with NetView is that it will not do that. You have to
decide which label you want because there is nothing in the MIB itself
which allows you to make that decision. So do that. Edit the MIB and
comment out (put double dashes in front of the line you want to exclude)
the line you don't want.

Subject: [nv-l] Error Loading MIB
Having trouble loading CISCO-ENTITY-VENDORTYPE-OID-MIB-V1SMI.my.
$ xnmloadmib -load CISCO-ENTITY-VENDORTYPE-OID-MIB-V1SMI.my
Error detected while loading MIB File:
CISCO-ENTITY-VENDORTYPE-OID-MIB-V1SMI.my.
This MIB cannot be loaded until the following problem is corrected:
Line 557047: Error in registration of 'cevPa2OC3PosSw': Subid '101'

Lines from the MIB

This MIB cannot be loaded until the following problem is corrected:

y 'cevHdaNm4fxs'
cevHdaNm4fxs OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { cevModuleC36xxType 82 }
cevHdv4fxs OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { cevModuleC36xxType 82 }
Now it would seem to me that you cannot have 2 Object Identifiers with the
same definition. But when opened a TAC case to Cisco they say they can
load it fine in HP Openview and another compiler . They said it could be
a Netview specific problem .
