Re: [nv-l] Switch analyzer and Oracle DB

["Christopher J Petrina" <cjp8@meadwestvaco.com>]

I did tell ovtopmd to use the relational database.  Cause I want all my data to go to the oracle database.  Support says that there is an E-FIX for DB2 with regards to this and is checking to see whether or not there is an oracle fix as well.   I guess my question back is why would I NOT want to change where ovtopmd sends its information.  I guess I can see that not agreat deal of useful information would be held int he database with regards to topology. ie basically the only thing in the database for toppo would be node and node location within the map.
would that be a correct assumption.

Chris,

After you did the ovtopoconv -R -v I would hope that you left the configration of ovtopmd alone. In other words, you DID NOT tell ovtopmd to start using the relational database. Thus, ovtopmd is still using the flat files.

If this is the case, does your NetView come up and maps work ok? After they are up, what is the result of the ovtopdump command?
