Re: [nv-l] ovtopodump hostname not displaying anything

[Leslie Clark <lclark@us.ibm.com>]

Is the question how to get Netview to
automatically delete interfaces that have been deconfigured? Sometimes
it does and sometimes it does not. I have read in the past that it depends
on the flag settings for that type of device in /usr/OV/conf/oid_to_type.
The S flag is there to prevent the deletion of interfaces that normally
'come and go'. In that case, you are expected to manually delete the interface
card from the router on the map. You should do that before the address
is re-assigned to some other device.

I don't think this is a complete match
to what you are describing, but perhaps it is a clue. I would plan on making
map deletions a part of the change control process that gets such changes
implemented in the network. 

Cordially,

Subject	[nv-l] ovtopodump hostname not displaying anything

Hi All
 
Netview 7.1.2 on AIX 4.3.3
 
I have two problems
1)         Configurations
of the routers are not being refreshed in netview.
2)         After rediscovery
ovtopodump router123 does not display anything.
 
This has only been occurring recently. I
have a router “router123”. I can topodump it, demandpoll it, ovobjprint
it. When dumping I can see it has an address of another allocated router
– so it is not refreshing the configuration no matter how many times I
demandpoll it. I telnet into the router and quite true the interface is
no longer valid, but I can’t get netview to drop that info about that
interface from router123, I then delete the router from all maps, I check
it is no longer anywhere dump,demandpoll all come up blank / error finding
 device. I do a loadhosts –p –a  of that host, it gets loaded
, I can then demandpoll it and it now reflects the correct interfaces.
But when I do a topodump router123 is gives me nothing, but if I run ovobjprint
and get the object id and do a ovtopodump “objected” it display everything.
 Why is this happening? And how do I
fix it?
 
Thanks
Vynita
