Check
the Netview v7.1 release notes. Pieces of the information about location.conf
appear in the each of the release notes. The one you are asking about is page 17
(out of 114 acrobat PDF pages) in the NetView v7.1 release notes (called
readme.pdf) in the doc folder on the Netview CD.
As a
side note to any IBMers.... this is a frequently occuring problem where
"documentation" is in the release notes. It's great you put the new features in
there, how about updating the admin guide with that info before it gets shipped
so it's in the manuals as well?
Is there
documentation that is as specific as what youa re describing that i can obtain
and read somewhere? The only rela documentation that I know
forlocation.conf is the first half of the actual file itself in the commented
out section. Things such as how routers are defined and what all needs
to be defined are not in the specs. The things you talk about such as
having to make sure all the different subnets have to be in the location.conf
file would be helpful. We rely heavily on the location.conf file for
placement of all devices, we have over 100 remote sites that need to be
populated correctly from a seedfile without the use of auto discovery.
Thanks

In order for location.conf to automatically place the router
ALL subnets present on the device must be in location.conf container. If you
have a router with 5 interfaces say in 4 different subnets (lets assume you
have a pair of serial links to another location that are in the same subnet).
all 4 of those subnets must be in location.conf container for that physical
site. If you miss one subnet in location.conf the icon will float back to the
ip internet map.

Correct. However
using a fairly specific Location.conf file. That device with the same
name and ip addresses which shows up correctly in the submap that it should,
also keeps showing up on the main IP Internet map. Now if you are saying
that because this device has multiple IP addresses that it will show up
wherever that network segment is, then I can understand that and remedy
that.

Chris,
NetView places a device on the IP Internet submap,
when a device has
multiple IP addresses in different IP subnets.

Me again,
Q1: Why does
entview continually find teh same device multiple times?
I
have a
device that is already in one submap but it keeps finding it
again
and
placing it ont he IP Internet map. I have deleted it from that
submap, I have ran ovtopofix and ovmapcount and even after I delete
it
once it is polling time again it just finds it again and places it
back
on
the map again?
Anyone?
