I can tell you that I built a NV 7.1.4 server on a Linux RH 7.2 virtual
machine and didn't have any problems at all. During the build of the PH
server I chose to not enable the firewall at all though.

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
