To make it read only here is what you
have to do:
- Edit the
/usr/OV/lrf/netviewd.lrf file. Make a backup first….
- add the flag “ –ro “ with
a comma to separate it from other flags.
Here is how mine is set up to show you:
netviewd:/usr/OV/bin/netviewd:
OVs_YES_START:nvsecd pmd ovwdb trapd ovtopmd
ovactiond nvcorrd actionsvr nvserve
rd:-spmd 2 ,-map mapname,-ro:OVs_WELL_BEHAVED:30:
-
Now register the change:
-
cd to /usr/OV/lrf
-
run: /usr/OV/bin/ovaddobj
./netviewd.lrf
-
After the “Successful
completion” message
-
Run: ovstop netviewd
-
Run: ovstart netviewd
That should do it, it works for me.

Subject: RE: [nv-l] netviewd
The reason I am looking for this, is that our NV box
has no graphics card and no monitor (UNIX). Anything I need to do as the
administrator of unix I have to open a X window session into the box. I
am not too concerned with the web console users being able to manage/unmanage
because we have taken away that right from them. Unmanaged got to be too
messy and was not properly implemented.
My issue is that everytime I start the xwindow client and issue a netview
-dconsole it interupts the web console users and they have to re open the map. Same
thing happens when I close the GUI it will interput their web console useage
until the netviewd starts running again.
Other then building a second map for only the Web console users to view
I was curious if there was another way?
Thanks

Yes, look in the NetView for UNIX
Administrator's Reference under NETVIEWD for the details on starting
Read-only sessions NETVIEWD sessions. The function isn't available under
the Windows version.
Personally, I wouldn't want to do that. Read-only maps
do not automatically display information such as changes to and from the
MANAGED state or the addition of new nodes to the map. The RO map user
must refresh his map to get these changes. The native console user of the
RO map also is unable to do any maintenance of the map or manage/unmanage
nodes. The web console user of the RO map is unable to manage/unmanage
nodes.
The truth of the matter is that you can't have your web
console users enjoy uninterrupted connections and see the addition of new nodes
and the other changes which take place automatically only on RW maps. Web
console administrators also don't have full function.

Is there a way to force netviewd to always open the map as read-only.
Reason: Whenever I need to go into the NV box and run the GUI, it
automatically kills the netviewd (as it was designed to). The problem is
that this kills all web consoles when I start the netview gui using netview
-dconsole
How can I make it look seemless to the web console users so that they never
lose connection to the web console?
