NetView 7.1.3 AIX 4.3.3
Dell has a product called
Dell OpenManage Connection for Tivoli TME 10 Netview for AIX, AIX, English, Multi System, v. 1.4, A00 dated 3/27/2002
Basically it loads the MIBS and trap
configuration for the Dell Openmanage applications into NetView using a shell
script. The nice thing is all of the MIBS are in one location and the trap
configuration is already done. It’s one stop shopping for loading Dell
SNMP information.
Here is the issue I had. After
running the script everything appeared to be OK. I was doing some testing and attempted
to restart the daemons. Trapd failed to come back up and I got this message:
[/usr/OV/bin]>ovstart trapd
object manager name: trapd
behavior:
OVs_WELL_BEHAVED
state:

PID:

exit
status: -
After looking in the /usr/OV/conf/C/trapd.conf I saw that there
were 42 traps loaded that exceeded 40 characters in the trap name. I had to
manually delete the traps from the trapd.conf before I could get the trapd
daemon to start.
Has anyone else had this issue? Was my solution in editing
the trapd.conf an acceptable solution?
I am going to open a ticket with Dell and let them know
about the trouble.
Thanks,
Scott Bursik
