Just to confuse, two replies for one message.

 

First query: Since Bandwidth Utilization is a mibExpr.conf definition, create a duplicate for it under another name.  Then define the first threshold entry with the original name and the second with the name of the duplicate entry.  I’m using five copies and variations of the basic definition. 

 

Your other query is a bit more complex and involves the fundamental design of NetView. 

  • Do you really mean NetView Client?  There is a distincton among the NetView Server which includes an integral NetView Client and the NetVIew Client which executes on a separate processor complex and shares the databases resident on the Server. The primary need for the NV Client was the shortage of resources on 1990 vintage machines to open enough X-Windows consoles to operate a big network.  The processor complex of that era could only support about five X-window based operators before the server function began to suffer.  A Client processor could handle about ten X-operators. 
  • I’m at a loss as to why one would create a NetView Client installation today with the Web Console Cllient available.  The Web Console, in my opinion, is better adapted for operations while you need the X-windows client for administration.  With today’s memory sizes and the Web Console you should be able to support a nearly unlimited host of operators with one NetView Server.  That assumes you can migrate those operators to the Web Console.  At the same time, an installation with multiple administrators should probably be using a development NetVIew on a different processor from the production one instead of a NetView Client.   
  • The closure of Client/Console windows is dependent on the MAP you open (Default, Development, Custom, etc.) and the operator instance which has it open.  In any case it also depends on how much of the server function you want to close.  It’s not an “all or nothing” situation.   
    • My installation uses only a NetView Server on which we open two X-Console instances.  There is only one map.  The one X-console instance is the read-write image of the Default map.  All web consoles are opened against this instance.  A second X-console instance is opened to allow the display of a bitmap behind the submap showing the wide area network.  We can close the map-associated daemons supporting the read-write session and the web-console daemons without affecting the read-only X-console display. 
  • Closure of the database daemons will affect all clients.  You can identify which daemons will affect which consoles by looking at a diagram of the daemons and their connectivity.  Unfortunately I can’t find a published diagram of that outside of classroom materials.  If you are interested in that level of detail send me a message offline.  (bill.evans@hq.doe.gov).

Hi Foks,

Is it possible to stop the NV Server without closing the Client ( Both UNIX and Web Console)?



Thank You,
