RE: [nv-l] Error when starting Netview

["Evans, Bill" <Bill.Evans@hq.doe.gov>]

When you copied /usr/OV/conf did you get the whole tree or just that level of the directory?  You need the whole tree since the actual OVSNMP database is in snmp.conf_db subdirectory.  “tar –cvf  OVCONF.tar /usr/OV/conf/*” gets the whole tree.

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
