If ovwls shows you only "default",  then you can try specifying it with "- - mapname" on the command, otherwise call Support

And it does. I only have one map, and its called "default". Voila!

It tells you right there that your R/W map has to have the name "default".

I just tried manage/unmanage and it failed without a R/W map up even though netviewd is running. See below:
 
root [s00cXXX/usr/scripts]# nvmaputil.sh --manage-node sxa-lisbon-px-xxa51
There is no read/write map opened whose map name is "default".
root [s00cXXX/usr/scripts]# ps -ef |grep netviewd
   root 17288 27618   2 15:07:23  pts/0  0:00 grep netviewd
   root 23616 34202   0 18:06:20      -  1:57 /usr/OV/bin/netviewd

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)

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
