RE: [nv-l] Error when starting Netview

["D'Apice, Domenico" <D.D'Apice@SAQ.qc.ca>]

Hi Olivier, you're right the community name for my hostname (snmpd.conf) wasn't the same with the netview configuration.

but what i don't understand is , yesterday i did a backup of my netview pre-prod to my lab.

 

I mean, i copy  /usr/OV/conf, /usr/OVdatabases, /usr/OV/www/conf  DIRs from preprod to my LAB

i did a reset_ci and now, i should have the same conf file for both server of them....

 

BUT what is strange, is when i did this command on my LAB

 

xnmsnmpconf -resolve `hostname` | grep ^community

 

i get :

 

sisauda@aixtivlab1:/saq/home/users/sisauda$ xnmsnmpconf -resolve `hostname` | grep ^community
community      = Value1

Now when i did this command to my pre-prod server i get

 

sisauda@sxqtiv0017:/saq/home/users/sisauda$ xnmsnmpconf -resolve `hostname` | grep ^community
community      = public

 

How is possible that Netview LAB and Netview Pre-prod aren't the same "hostname" community name if  /usr/OV/conf dir is the same of both server ??? Does i miss some CONF dir to Copy ?

 

Thanks to put some light

Dominic

Domenico, 

your configured 
community names seems not to match. 

Make sure you have read acces for both, the hostname and loopback. 
snmpget `hostname` system.sysObjectID.0 
snmpget 127.0.0.1 system.sysObjectID.0 

Compare your community names in 
/etc/snmpd.conf with the read communitys configured in your NetView snmp 
configuration: 
xnmsnmpconf -resolve 
`hostname` | grep ^community 
xnmsnmpconf 
-resolve 127.0.0.1 | grep ^community

Hello all, when i start Netview i get this error :

 You can use the following command
