Hey James,
Don't mind Ray - he has good intentions. And - I trained him about NetView so that explains a lot. =)
 
Thanks,

Check first whether you are running on a read-write map, and try stopping and restarting it first, letting ipmap synchronize with the data base.
If that doesn't do it, then I'd vote for Ray's database cleanup commands and then a restart of the GUI because they force ipmap to re-evaluate every object and symbol.  

But I don't see much use in reset_ci (sorry Ray).  It's mainly for daemons, which have lost the ability to communicate with each other because they don't know where they are.  The only map activity is to update the map location with mapadmin to guarantee that it resides on the correct host.

If "/usr/OV/service/reset_ci" does not resolve the issue, then you may have to perform a database cleanup...
We like to use the following commands:
    ovmapcount -a
    ovtopofix -a
Don't forget to backup your databases before running the above commands.

What happens if you search for the object by the "IP Address" "Attribute..".

I'm ahead of you... did that and it still isn't there, yet I can ping the device and do a nmdemandpoll to it.

Bounce netmon and search for it after netmon restarts.

We did and it said that no devices were found in the map.

Use the "Locate" menu option and see if you can find the device that way on the Read/Write map... It may have been placed automatically in a network segment on your map...

RE: [nv-l] Object in DB but not on map

We deleted an ATM router from our all submaps and waited for it to rediscover the device an place it in the holding area.  We waited a good hour and it still didn't show up.  I did a nmdemandpoll on both the hub router connected to the ATM circuit and the ATM router itself.  Demand poll did poll the device, but it still never showed up on the map.  Do I need to do a ovtopofix -u to get it to show up?
 
Thanks
