Re: [nv-l] ovtopofix -m -> nonstandard objects

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

Regarding cleandb.sh, which I use regularly:
it calls ovwdbdmap -d which is part of Netview. That command takes object
numbers as parameters. There is a problem with ovwdbdmap when the object
numbers get big, as they do in large databases, or when there is hsrp.
The APAR is IY68884 and there is an efix. Call support for it. It is not
in any of the fixpacks. 

Cordially,

Don,
Check to make sure that ipmap is not coring(just do a ps -ef | grep ipmap
every 5 minutes and see if the pid changes). If the PID is changing, then
ipmap is most likely coring and you may need to move to FP03 or get 
additonal
fixes from support. As for the non-standard items, if you want to remove
these,
please open a call with support and ask for the cleandb.sh script. It was
specifically designed to remove those objects. Make sure you have a good
backup
of the database before using that script.
