Inaki,

James is right.  Of course.  As always.  For UNIX ;-)

But you you are on Windows.

Close the gui.
ovmapcount -u
ovstop netmon
ovtopofix -a
ovstart
Open the gui and search again for those nodes.

Kind regards

Did you read the man pages on ovtopofix?  What options id you use on the
command?  "ovtopofix" by itself  without any options will not help you.
You need "ovtopofix -A"  since you have only one map.    When you next open
the read-write map it will synchronize for a long time because you
"ovtopofix -A" will cause ipmap to re-evaluate all the symbols on the map.
Make sure the map you start says "Read-Write" at the bottom bar.

As for not seeing the host, did you try the Locate function in the GUI?  It
may not be where you expect it.   If you still don't see it after running
"ovtopofix -A", and cannot locate it either, then take the GUI down and try
running "ovtopofix  -U <hostname>" as the man page directs.  Then bring the
read-write map back up and see what you can find.

When using the command "ovmapcount" the output does not contain many of
the host that appaer with all their fields in the output
of "ovobjprint".

I just have one map, the default.

I used "ovtopofix"(I had to stop netmon before) the output was
just "done".

No where in my map I see those host that I see in the object database
(ovobjprint).

All the daemons are running with the only exception of tecad_nv6k.

Thanks for your help
Inaki
