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

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