Hi,
My company has a developed a new SNMP agent that is discovered by NetView
and placed in the expected network maps. However, the devices are also
displayed in the BadOID smartset.
I searched the forum for situations like this and realized that we must
modify some files so that NetView recognizes our sysObjectID. I've modified
the oid_to_sym, oid_to_type, and snmp_fields files to do this. I then
deleted all the associated symbols, cleared the database and then performed
discovery again. Now our devices are no longer in the BadOID smartset but
in the smartset I expect it to belong to. Everything worked fine.
My questions are as follows:
1. If one upgrades NetView (say from 7.1.3 to 7.1.4) will the modified
files mentioned above be replaced and therefore, need to be modified again?
2. Is it necessary to manually remove symbols from the BadOID smartset and
perform another discovery, or will the symbol be removed and updated on the
next scheduled discovery?
3. Is there a way to get our Enterprise OID added to NetView's files so
that future releases of the product will recognize our devices and assign
the appropriate symbol to it? I imagine we have to contact Tivoli for this
but I don't know what the procedure would be to do this.
Thank you very much for your assistance.
Regards,
