Sorry about that James,
I should have supplied more information. I hope the following helps you help
me.
1) We added a interface to the IBM server. It is the 4th interface. No changes
were made to the other interfaces.
2) The interface IP addresses and names of all of the interfaces are in the
/etc/hosts files.
3) At 1am on Sunday morning - we backup the server so I shutdown NetView. After
the restart, I run reset_ci.
4)The message in TEC is:
"nvserverd is ending.
This Fatal Nvserverd_Event event was received by a TEC server at 5/30/04
1:05:22 AM."
The event source message is:
"This event was reported by NetView (TEC) from UNKNOWN.
It originated from 0.0.0.0 (TEC), on the host named "UNKNOWN".
Thanks in advance.

Subject: Re: [nv-l] nvserverd event in TEC
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.
