Hi Sue,
As Oliver says, strictly it isn't an snmpCollect "problem" - but it is a gotcha if you don't know about it. I usually just use the Tools -> Data Collection and thresholds menu to suspend all the collections. I would also make sure I had a handy backup of any collections you currently have - that's the /usr/OV/conf/snmpCol.conf file - before you do the upgrade.

Cheers,
Jane

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
