I concur with Scott's experience. I leave netviewd running all the time and I
never have a problem with nvmaputil.sh - with or without a native client open.

I have not found this to be the case. I just opened a RO map and have
netviewd running and nvmaputil works fine. There is no RW map open by a
user. I was able to unmamage a node and verify it with a ovobjprint -s and
then manage it again.

Fawad,
1- I have noticed the same. If a RO map is opened, nvmaputil will always
fail, even if netviewd is also running with a RW map. It looks like
nvmaputil will use the ovw (the opened map) instead of netviewd whenever
ovw is running. And of course the update will not happen if the map used by
nvmaputil is in RO mode.
2- I believe the web device management is when you define an URL for the
management of a device (see the W option in oid_to_type)

Please respond to
nv-l
NV 7.1.3 / AIX 5.1
Couple of questions:
1. Nvmaputil.sh will fail if map is not up in R/W mode, even with
netviewd running. I was told it would work if netviewd was running. I
have tried netviewd in both ro and rw mode.
2. I posted this before but got no response. Does anyone know what Web
Device Mgmt option under Tools is for? I find no doc on this feature.
Issue is this: We have several devices that can be configured via web
browser; it's basically a SNMP SET operation. I have all the MIBs
loaded and can do individual SETs on individual devices via the MIB
Browser. I was hoping there was a way to invoke an app from Netview
(web console) that can display this type of devices and do collective
SETs on them.
Thanks.
Cheers
Fawad Qureshi
