Re: [nv-l] ovtstatus

You are in luck!  ovstop, ovstart
and ovstatus are all the same executable, which is replicated three times
with a different name to provide convenience.  Do an "ls -l ovst*"
and  "cksum ovst*" and you'll see that this is true.  Just
copy ovstop or ovstart to a new file, /usr/OV/bin/ovstatus, and that should
suffice. 
 
In the case of other executables you
would not be so lucky.  The installation install code on the CD cannot
be made to give up a single file from out of the various file packages,
so far as I know.  You'd have to install the code on another box and
ftp over what you'd lost, or do a backup of user data from serversetup,
delete your current NetView,  and then do a migration (upgrade) install.
 Then, if you have FixPacks or test fixes applied, you'd have to re-apply
those. 

 If you absolutely couldn't do
either of those, then you most likely have to open a call to IBM Support
as a Priority one issue.  It may seem silly, but there are problems
with sending proprietary computer code outside the United States these
days.  While even ovstatus is not a complex piece of code,  I
believe that it would unfortunately violate both international copyright
laws and US technology export laws for me, or anyone else in US, to just
send it to you.  But if you go through channels, so that your identity
and entitlement is verified, then there is no problem.   So that's
why you'd need a call to IBM Support for anything which was not duplicated.

Once you get ovstatus back working,
my guess is that you are going to tar up all of  /usr/OV and save
it somewhere; perhaps to tape or compressed in another filesystem.  Good
idea.  It never hurts to have  a backup.

Hi all,

I accidentally deleted the "ovstatus" from /usr/OV/bin in my
Netview.
Where I can get it?

Thanks
