[nv-l] mlm on nt docs

["Karl Prinelle" <Karl.Prinelle@elyzium.co.uk>]

Hi list,

 

I'm having a poke around with MLM's in a lab & need a few pointers - alternatively it could just be Friday brain fade...

 

Environment: My lab has a Linux Netview 7.1.3+fp1 and w2k MLM.  Netview reports that the MLM is up so I've obviously done something right (!)

 

Questions:

1. Can anyone point me to any docs on mlm for NT?  I'm using the MLM Users guide, but it only mentions installing it & using a supported unix to manage it through smconfig.  When I browsed the MLM mib initially I noticed comments about "Netview for NT not installed, discovery and thresholding not available" which doesn't sound great.  From the docs it seems I can delegate all this stuff?

 

2. I know there is no MLM support for Linux, but I'm not clear about the detail of that statement.  Does this mean I can't use snmpset (since there is no smconfig) from a Linux netview to configure an NT MLM & have that NT MLM take on management functions in the same way it would if I had an AIX Netview?  If I can't then that would make my lab a well flogged dead horse ;-)

 

3. I've noticed comments in the MLM mib tables about discovery sensor is not supported on NT, but any kind of restricted functionality doesn't seem to be mentioned in the docs - have I been reading with my eyes closed again or are there restrictions?

 

4. Is there a fp1 for the mlm?  Maybe a magic switch on the fp1 installer to extract that bit??

 

5. Would I get more out of my NT MLM if I had a full w2k Netview on the MLM machine - sounds a little odd to me but nonetheless possible..

 

Any help appreciated....

 

K
