Leslie,
Thank you for your reply. After waiting for quite a
while for suggestions from the Forum I opened a PMR. As it turned
out the loop back address somehow disappeared from SNMP Configuration as well
as the Community name for the Netview Server. So, after I entered that
info again, netmon started right up.
I’m still puzzled as to how this happened; I’m
the only one that can make SNMP changes to the server.
Thanks again,

That message is usually accompanied by another clause
complaining about snmp and 127.0.0.1. Was that there? That always means that
you have changed the read community string for the Netview server in
/etc/snmpd.conf and have NOT made a corresponding change in xnmsnmpconf. The
AIX guys at my current shop just did it to us. Try 'xnmsnmpconf -resolve
<netviewhostname>' and see what it is using for the read community to
talk to itself. And compare that to the /etc/snmpd.conf file. If they don't
match any more, launch 'xnmsnmpconf' from the commandline, or 'Options..SNMP
config' from the map, and add or update the entry for the Netview box address
AND 127.0.0.1 with the new community.
Cordially,

[nv-l] netmon won't start
|
|
I can’t seem to be able to start netmon daemon this morning.
I went to netmon.trace file and I got following recommendation:
“the
/usr/OV/conf/snmpmib and /usr/OV/conf/snmpmib.bin files are corrupted
and
need to be rebuilt using the Maintain->Rebuild MIB binary file
with installation MIB defaults
option in NetView configuration menu”
which
I did but that didn’t work.
Any clues?
Thank you,
