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

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

 a) SNMP Agent not running
 b) nvsecd not running

 This may result in configuration and operational errors.
 You can use the following command to verify the SNMP Agent
 is operational after correcting the problem:
