Re: [nv-l] Change TEC forwarding via command line?

[bill.kellam@worldspan.com]

James, I have a failover script that I execute to flip flop my pair of
Netview servers to make one active and the other inactive. The respective
commands I use are these:

/usr/OV/bin/nv6000_smit tecint_conf '-Y' -s'TecServer' -p'5529'
-r'tecfwd.rs'";
/usr/OV/bin/nv6000_smit tecint_conf '-N' -s'TecServer' -p'5529'
-r'tecfwd.rs'";

Any thoughts on whether the nvtecia command would be a better choice? This
maintains state across a reboot (I think!). I got this straight off the
window that displays command status when reconfiguring tec forwarding from
the serversetup interface.

nvserverd does not have to be bounced.
You can stop and start TEC forwarding dynamically, once it has been
initially set up, with the nvtecia  command.  It has two options.
        /usr/OV/bin/nvtecia  -stop
stop TEC forwarding.
        /usr/OV/bin/nvtecia -reload
cause nvserverd to reload the ruleset which is defined in the tecint.conf
file and begin forwarding again.
Note that this allows you to edit the file and change the rule name
whenever you  want to.

Hi.  We are running Netview 7.1.3 on AIX 5.1.  We have a need to
temporarily stop forwarding events to TEC and would like to change this via
the command line over dial-up.

Reading the tecint.conf man page, I see:

"  The /usr/OV/conf/tecint.conf file contains definitions for the
forwarding
 of NetView events to TEC. The presence of this file will cause nvserverd
to
 attempt TEC forwarding. If absent, no forwarding to TEC will occur."

So, it appears we could temporarily rename the file.  The man page doesn't
seem to say whether or not we will need to bounce nvserverd.  Does anybody
know if we'll need to?


Thanks,

Craig
