Re: [nv-l] NV 7.1.4 and TEC forwarding / Correlation Gateway

[James Shanks <jshanks@us.ibm.com>]

Don't assume anything.  
Non-TME or not nvserverd will try to use the SCE on the gateway.  That is independent of the transport mechanism.
If you are having problems with it I would comment out the three new lines in your tecint.conf and restart nvserverd
BufferEvents=YES
 UseStateCorrelation=YES
 StateCorrelationConfigURL=file:///usr/OV/conf/nvsbcrule.xml

I have upgraded my NV 7.1.3 on AIX 5.1 ML03, upto NV 7.1.4.  I have NOT 
upgraded my TEC to 3.9 - it's at TEC 3.8 Fixpack 1.
My /usr/OV/conf/tecint.conf seems to have 3 lines added:
 BufferEvents=YES
 UseStateCorrelation=YES
 StateCorrelationConfigURL=file:///usr/OV/conf/nvsbcrule.xml

My original ServerLocation and ServerPort are unchanged at "poppet" and 
"0" respectively (ie non-TME communications.  I DO have an SCE TEC 
gateway but I assume nvserverd isn't using it as it is using non-TME 
comms.  My ruleset in tecint.conf is TEC_ITS.rs (which looks like the 
new one with NV 7.1.4 as it does not contain the TEC_ITS_L2_NODE_STATUS 
events).

Although I was getting NetView events through to TEC immediately after 
the NetView upgrade, they are not coming through any longer - no events 
from NetView show in wtdumprl.  nvtecia -reload doesn't seem to change 
anything.  There is nothing in my nvserverd cache file.

I cannot find any documentation in the NV 7.1.4 Release notes that 
reference the TEC sce gateway, nor can I see anything in the new 7.1.4 
Admin Guide.  The TEC 3.9 documentation I have doesn't seem to have 
anything either.

Anyone have a reference document for "What's changed between NV 7.1.3 / 
TEC 3.8 and NV 7.1.4 / TEC 3.9, especially with reference to the State 
Correlation Gateway for TEC???

Cheers,
Jane
