You need to call IBM Support to get
these fixes.

As a newbie, where can I find IY40359 and/or IY48698.   Had no problem
locating FixPack1, but having trouble locating the others.  Does anyone
have the url for information/downloads on the interim fixes?

Thanks

Ray, 

At times the color of the switch icon is incorrect when the switch is marginal.
 There is an interim fix IY40359 for Unix, superseded by IY48698 as
of 9/24,  that addressed this.   It fixes the occasional problem
of inconsistent switch status colors between network and segment submaps.
 This fix is required when using NetView 7.1.3 fixpack 1.  (By
the way, do you have NetView fixpack 1 installed?  ITSA requires it.)

You should also check the oper status of those ports listed in the NetView
event you mentioned.  At the NetView GUI, highlight the switch and
select Monitor-->Other-->Interfaces.  In addition check /usr/OV/ITSL2/log/poll_server.log
for possible errors associated with these ports.

Hello Everyone,

NetView 7.1.3 on AIX 5.2 and experimenting with with ITSL2 Version 1.2.1.

I'm receiving switch analyzer node marginal traps from several 29xx series switches. And the switch does NOT change to marginal (yellow) status. Below is an example:

1065037619 3 Wed Oct 01 14:46:59 2003 switch1.abc.com V Node Marginal [0.0.0.0/FastEthernet0/37, 0.0.0.0/FastEthernet0/28, 0.0.0.0/FastEthernet0/19, 0.0.0.0/FastEthernet0/17, 0.0.0.0/FastEthernet0/16]

I cannot find an explanation of the event message. When I telnet to the switch, I cannot find any logs indicating problems for the ports listed. In fact - no ports on the source swtich are reporting any problems.
There is nothing listed under "Impact Analysis" for the particular switch.

Are there any ITSL2 users who can explain the traps message?

Thanks in advance.
