RE: [nv-l] changing oid_to_sym

["Davis, Donald" <donald.davis@firstcitizens.com>]

Chris,

If you only have one map (just the default), the answer is no, you do not have to re-discover the objects.

1. ovstop netmon

2. ovtopofix -A  (capital A)

3. ovstart netmon

4. Close/Open the read/write map

5. Be patient.......

 

If you have multiple maps, you may get unwanted results if you run ovtopofix with the capital -A parmeter.

i.e.  deleted objects will re-appear, etc....

It would be better to delete and re-discover them.

Greetings all

I ahve a multitude of devices that are connetors.  Basically Alcatel switches. with the SysOID of 1.3.6.1.4.1.6486.800.1.1.2.1.3.1.2 I add Alcatel as a Vendor in the ovw_fields, I also add Alcatel to the snmpagent.   I then add an oid_to_type for this OID to be a connector.   That adds them all in the ovw_fields area.   I then do a oid_to_sym to create the (multi-port) symbol for the device.)  Do I need to rediscover all the Alcatel devices with this OID in order for the symbolt o appear ont he objects in the map?
