netmon needs to be configured with the appropriate SNMP community name to be able to talk to the snmpd agent that resides on the same box as itself.

The global default community name within NetView's SNMP Configuration panel and the loopback community name in snmpd.conf need to be the same.
OR
If not the global default, then you need to have an entry (such as a specific entry) in NetView's SNMP Configuration for the NetView host box  where its community name matches the community name in the snmpd.conf file.

[nv-l] netmon won't start





Hello all,

i got a error when i copy the /usr/OV/conf dir. from my production      
server to my pre-production netview server when i ovstart my pre-      
production server i got this :


----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----                              
object manager name: netmon                                            
behavior:            OVs_WELL_BEHAVED                                  
state:               FAILED                                            
PID:                 31714                                            
last message:        Can't talk to snmpd; see /usr/OV/log/netmon.trace for
info                                        
exit status:         -                                                
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----

                                                           
Cannot communicate with SNMP Agent via loopback address (127.0.0.1); it is
either not running or has been configured with a community name different
from that configured into Tivoli NetView for this system. If a community
name has
been configured into the SNMP Agent, that community name must be configured
via xnmsnmpconf and /usr/OV/conf/ovsnmp.conf for address 127.0.0.1 as well
as for the hostname or IP address of this system.
Or, the /usr/OV/conf/snmpmib and /usr/OV/conf/snmpmib.bin files are
corrupted
and need to be rebuilt using the
Maintain->Rebuild MIB binary file with installation MIB defaults
option in NetView configuration menu
           


any idea what can be wrong ?    

thanks
Dominic
