[nv-l] Virtual PC

[CMazon@commercebankfl.com]

Hello List,

We are planning on porting over our
NV 7.1.4 server from Windows to Linux, but before hand I want to make some
tests and we don't have any extra servers to test on.

I am not sure if this is supported,
but here goes.  I am running Red Hat 7.2 running on a virtual machine
with Netview 7.1.4. I set up discovery on local subnet only. However upon
starting Netview, there is nothing discovered.  I am not an expert
with Linux but I did configure the SNMP agent to match the community name
of NV.  I also ran " /sbin/service iptables stop" in case
I had any kind of Linux Firewall rules. I am able to ping a server on the
same subnet, I am also able to snmpwalk the same server. The only weird
thing I noticed is under Test... IP/TCP/SNMP connectivity... I get an error
"could not connect to port 5888: connection refused" but thats
only for TCP test, ICMP and SNMP are ok.  From that server I am trying
to monitor, I am able to ping, telnet, and telnet to port 162 to the virtual
PC, I added it to the seedfile include, and added to the host file and
tried to run loadhosts making sure in the options that I manage nodes added
by loadhosts.  Yet I still do not have anything discovered? 

Can anyone shoot out any ideas out or
can I assume it just won't work running on a virtual PC?


Thanks

Carlos
