RE: [nv-l] ? about yellow map status near root - but zero "failing resources" found in submaps

["Colin Mulkerrins" <Colin.Mulkerrins@anpost.ie>]

Glen,

 

I have been having similar issues with icons going marginal when everything under them is OK (I have even had leaf interfaces going marginal).  All this started when I upgraded from 7.1.2 to 7.1.4 (on AIX) I am up to FP3 and it is still happening.  I can change them back to green by unmanaging and remanaging the icon (normally a router) but after a while (not consistant) it changes back to yellow again - I have set logging but so far cannot find any reason why this is happening nothing ashows up in the logs.  They do not appear to be generating traps and my network team have not complained about spurious alerts (and they would if they got any :-)).  It is just a pain in the a** and makes the map look bad.

 

I suppose I'll get around to opening a pmr on the problem at some stage when I get a chance

Hi,

 

Running Netview 7.1.4 FP3 on Redhat Linux AS 2.1

My root map has been carved up into 5 objects that represent 5 different companies.  Each of those companies networks and devices have been cut from the root map and pasted into the company specific submaps.  Everything works perfectly - except on thing.  4 of the 5 submaps (representing each company) show status of yellow.  Drilling into the submaps - everything is either green or unmanaged (including hidden objects).  I've tried using the TOOLS-> FAILING RESOURCE DISPLAY utility to ID my problem, but it returns "no specified resources found".  Even odder, a month or so ago, Company X was green and everyone else yellow.  Now, company X is yellow and company Z is green!  I've run the various DB utilities too (resolve DB inconsistencies, compress IP and objects topology)

I also only have only a single map.

 

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated,
