You are correct. And that is why I say call Support. I believe that it
got broken, and I have not had a need to get it fixed at the moment.
But you do, so you are hereby nominated to call it in and get it fixed
for all of us. Gee - Thanks!

I know that that is one option to just remove the map and then do a
regenerate map. We currently only have one map as well. The only
issue is that not only do we use location.conf but we also move around
some objects on submaps and when you regen it mess' up the
customization we do. And I do notthink that you should have to
regen the whole map if you add a simple mod to the location.conf file.
but that is just me. I was just wondering if what I stated is the
case. that after you do your initial discovery does that mean adding
new sites into the location.conf file is pointless? I know when it
goes to discover a new device it will look in the location.conf file
to see if it is in there. But I do not think it uses it after initial
discovery for adding new sites.

Chris,
I've been playing with location.conf quite a bit lately and I've run
into the same problem. Creating a new map will read the new
location.conf file, but because the objects exist they won't show up
on the IP Map and you get the errors in the log. I used rediscovery
to fix the problem for a while, but lately I've just been selecting
Automatic Map generation (Administer/Server Setup/Control/Restart
automatic map generation). For me I only have the default map and I'm
trying to tailor the location.conf to populate locations without any
manual intervention. This has been working very well for me.
NV 7.1.4, Redhat 7.2

Would this "issue" also prevent new additions into the location.conf
file from being seen on the Map.
Meaning: I have a functioning Location.conf been running a while. We
just added another site (EUROPE_EVPN) I stopped netview (ovstop)
vi'd the location.conf to add the EUROPE_EVPN as a site and then
listed all the citys and devices under it so it looks something like
this.
International 255 Site
EUROPE_EVPN 255 Site International
Mauepas 1.1.1.1 Site EUROPE_EVPN
Chatearoux 2.2.2.2 Site EUROPE_EVPN
when I start netview again (/etc/netnmrc) the GUI, the site
EUROPE_EVPN does not get created, nor any of the others mentioned.
Is this a result of the "issue" above or is this just the fact that
location.conf only works "once" on initial discovery?
Thanks

I would call Support. I have seen this at 7.1.4, although it worked
fine at 7.1.3. To work around it, I have rediscovered completely. That
does work. The problem occurred when I did 'File..New Map'.

Subject: [nv-l] Location.conf
greetings,
location.conf -> if I modify location.conf then create a new map it
should use the modified version of location.conf in the new map correct?
I do this and I get errors here is aportion of the location.conf and
the erros I get
createLocations: Unable to create location Ajax. A non-location object
with that selection name already exists in the object database.
OBJECT: 4741
FIELD ID FIELD NAME FIELD VALUE
10 Selection Name "Ajax"
14 OVW Maps Exists 1
15 OVW Maps Managed 1
107 isLocation TRUE
it calls it a non location object yet you cans ee from above that it
is a location object. Any Help?
Thanks
Chris Petrina
