Re: [nv-l] nvserverd event in TEC

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

The short answer is "no",
nvserverd does not bind to an address, whatever that means.  But it
does try to resolve the address of it's own NetView box. That's how the
fields like adapter_ host are set.   A new interface card?  Does
it replace the old one?  
If you have changed NetView's address
then you must do reset_ci and restart the daemons.

If none of this is helpful, it would
be really helpful to the rest of us if you would post the actual message
you were paged for.  It's hard having to guess what it looks like.
 And it would be helpful to know whether the same fields were messed
up in other messages sent to TEC or they are unique for this one.

Subject	[nv-l] nvserverd event in TEC

Hello Everyone.
NetView 7.1.3 on AIX 5.2 ML2

I recently was paged at 1am for a nvserverd "Fatal" event that
showed up in TEC for an UNKNOWN server. The Tivoli admin checked his reception
log and confirmed the event was received by the TMR with the host UNKNOWN
and the IP address 0.0.0.0. Does nvserverd bind to a server IP address
and is there a way to determine the IP address? I think this is related
to installing a new interface on the NetView server. 

"wping", "odadmin odlist", "wlookup" and
other Tivoli commands all seem to work correctly.

Thanks in advance.
