Re: [nv-l] unwanted SNMP ADDR CHANGE

[Leslie Clark <lclark@us.ibm.com>]

At the time of that post, that was an
interim workaround to the problem. Current versions of Netview now support
this variable in the /usr/OV/conf/netmon.conf file. It is in there and
looks like this:

# If the SNMP agent returns a different
SNMP address, set to TRUE to ignore
# it, FALSE (default) to use it in future.
#NV_NETMON_IGNORE_RESP_SNMPADDR=FALSE

FYI, the netnmrc.pre file is an optional
startup file that you can make in /usr/OV/bin. It is read by /etc/netnmrc
at system startup if it exists, like this:

if [ -f /usr/OV/bin/netnmrc.pre ] ;
then  # APAR IX78567 -  mbt
  . /usr/OV/bin/netnmrc.pre

That is, it is sourced. So if you ever
want to set an environment variable in it you would do it like this (on
AIX):
export  NV_NETMON_IGNORE_RESP_SNMPADDR=FALSE

or 

set NV_NETMON_IGNORE_RESP_SNMPADDR=FALSE
export NV_NETMON_IGNORE_RESP_SNMPADDR

See this note in netmon.conf:
#
#     This file contains properties
to control the behavior of netmon.
#     It is intended to replace
the practice of using environment
#     variables.  For
backward compatibility reasons, all the old
#     variables are still
supported, but values set in this file will
#     override the equivalent
environment variable.
#

Cordially,

Subject	[nv-l] unwanted SNMP ADDR CHANGE

greetings all 

I read back on tghe list server about this and Leslie put out some great
information.  Basically we are continually getting snmp address changes
everytime netmon is stopped and started.  We not like this.  The
solution overview leslie gave said there is an environment variable called
NV_NETMON_IGNORE_RESP_SNMPADDR that should be set in netnmrc.pre.  
 Two (2) things. 

1:   Where is netnmrc.pre I have a netnmrc in /etc but no netnmrc.pre

2:  should it look like NV_NETMON_IGNORE_RESP_SNMPADDR = TRUE

Thanks 
Chris Petrina 
FYI   the APAR was IY26119
