RE: [nv-l] Discovery delays

[James Shanks <jshanks@us.ibm.com>]

After you updated the seed file, did you then stop and  restart netmon (not "netman")  or issue the command "/usr/OV/bin/netmon -y" to cause a reload of the file?  That happens automatically if you use the java seed file editor but otherwise not.

I modified eed file by putting in my netman server as a seed node. After
that I ran pings from that host and run demand pool on it. Nothing has
changed
