Re: [nv-l] netview client cannot connect

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

A NetView standalone installation cannot become a server installation, so far as I know. At least, I have never heard of a procedure to do this.  You would have to re-install.

I cannot answer your questions about SAN Manager.  My only contact with them is for problems they encounter with NetView code, which we simply provide to SAN Manager development, several states and hundreds of miles away from my location.  What they do with it after that is up to them.   It's a one-way street as far as I am concerned.

thanks James!

you are right, I don't have that tab and that's because I have installed tivoli sanmanager without having netview already installed so san manager did a standalone installation I think. My problem is now to install a san manager client console and for that I want to install netview client in the first place. that netview client must connect to netview server to see IP maps and after that, san client console must connect to the same netview server to see the SAN . I'm not sure this will work (nobody answered me until now) so I have to try it. if you know the answer to this problem please give it to me.

now, let's go back to client connection error: there is any possibility to make that standalone server become a "server"? or should I reinstall everything from the beginig installing in the first place netview as server and continuing with itsanm. (this is the worst case, I don't want to go back to the pains of that installation!!) please help me. once again: I don't need all this if itsan manager client console can't work on a client netview installation.

thanks!

Are you certain that you installed NetView on the server with the "Server" option and not "Standalone"?
I've seen experienced people make that mistake before.  Does your Server Setup on the server have a client/server tab?

the console." I have the netview account, the netview partition mapped on
client machine.. I don't know where else to look at. any clue?
