Re: [nv-l] netviewd and multiple maps

[James Shanks <jshanks@us.ibm.com>]

Only from the default map.  nvmaputil.sh
options are documented in the Release Notes and can be seen with nvmaputil.sh
-? (as can most UNIX commands).  If you want to delete from a different
map you have to specify it with the --mapname parameter.

Subject	Re: [nv-l] netviewd and multiple maps

If I remove the object using nvmaputil-sh --delete does this go out and
search all open maps for the device and delete it, or only on the default
map?  Can I give it parameters to which map to delete from?

Chris,

I believe when new items come in to NetView, they should show up on all
maps. However, in your administration, if you are deleting items from the
default map, they will exist on the OPS map until you delete them too.

Mulitple maps are very messy. One scenario that have I seen elsewhere is
2 NetViews instead of 2 maps. It makes sense only if you have to do a lot
of administration. One NetView is for OPS, the other for Administration.
At the end of your day, the database from Administration gets copied over
to a 'holding area' within the OPS NetView. Then at a shift change for
OPS, the NetView goes down....old database is saved in a 'backup' area.
New database from holding area gets copied (very fast on same machine)
into /usr/OV and NetView is restarted. This keeps the administration of
NetView easy to accomplish and provides for scheduled changes to the map
for operations.

This also provides the Administrative NetView as a backup NEtView for OPS
in case they have a failure.
