Re: [nv-l] Upgrade OS and NetView Questions

[syoung@westpac.com.au]

Jane,

Do the Fixpacks for 7.1.4 fix this snmpCollect
problem or do we need to turn it off ourselves. We have a very large network
and I think this could cause us problems if we upgrade from 7.1.3.

Thanks,
Sue

Watch out when you go from NetView 7.1.3 -> 4.
 There are a bunch of 
snmpCollect entries that get activated by default and you could suddenly
end up with much more data polling than you expect, along with a huge 
snmpCollect database.

Other gotcha is that there is an extra AIX pre-req needed for NetView 
7.1.x when you go to AIX 5.x - you need X11.compat (X11R5) package 
installed.

Also with NV 7.1.4 make sure that ulimit -n is NOT unlimited - set to 32767.

Problems if you want to install MLMs on AIX 5.x - see recent nv-l append
(easy fix).

Cheers,
Jane
