Perhaps I am missing something here, but this should not be this
difficult.
We copy usr/OV/conf from box to box all the time. But we use tar and pax
and ftp to do it.
On AIX, snmpd is configured in /etc/snmpd.conf via edit.
NetView is configured in /usr/OV/conf/ovsnmp.conf_db which is accessed via
xnmsnmpconf
After you copy that from one system to another, do
xnmsnmpconf -clearCache
to force the resolution to be from the files and not what is in memory,
and then try your test
xnmsnmpconf -resolve <hostname> | grep community.
If the two (snmpd.conf and xnmsnmpconf) match, all NetView daemons and
processes will start successfully but otherwise not.
If they do match and you still get the "cannot talk to snmpd" message,
then try stopping and starting snmpd
stopsrc -s snmpd
startsrc -s snmpd
And if that doesn't work, make sure you are using the SNMPv1 agent.
snmpv3_ssw -1
should switch it if you are not.
