You mentioned using MLM. I am using NetView 7.3 on RedHat 7.2. There are no
MLMs for the RedHat version.
Is anyone doing this sort of thing with NetView and not using MLMs. I have
2 NetView boxes on primary and one will be a secondary. I just need to
figure out how to get the secondary box to work. I will be using x-windows
to access the boxes.
Any IBMers. Is this sort of config covered in the NetView Admin training
class?
Thanks

Hi Scott,
We have been running this for several years. We just have 2
NetViews, 1 east coast and 1 west coast, with one being the primary and the
other being a backup. They each have an MLM in front of them and all of
the network devices are pointed at both MLMs for trap targets. The network
devices also have both Netviews on their access lists.
Whenever we have a problem with the primary, or there is
maintenance to be done, the operators are all told to shift their
monitoring to the backup server. Used to be hectic when we were still on X
sessions. With the web-client it is hardly noticable.
The database is copied from the primary to the backup once a
day, so the most data you would lose would be 24 hours. Just need to do a
reset_ci after restoring the database onto the backup so that it knows it's
real id.
You mentioned Geo load balancing....this does not do that,
both NetViews monitor the entire network, so it is purely disaster
recovery.

Subject: [nv-l] DR For NetView ?
Hi;
We are in the planning stages of launching a
second datacenter site for geo load balancing and
disaster recovery. When looking at the NetView docs
it seems like I can use an MLM like a Tivoli gateway
in production mode but I'm not sure how one would do a
backup NetView Server. Does anyone have any pointers ?
Is there a deployment guide for NetView that would cover this?
I have been searching the IBM website with no luck
and I don's see the docs on CD.
Thanks!
Scot
