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

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

You might try running 
    ovmapcount -b
If there are objects in the map that
are not in the topology, this will list them and tell you how to go about
deleting them. They may be affecting your status. And then I would look
at Switch Analyzer involvement. 

With so many people reporting funny
propogation after FP3, I think maybe someone should call Support and have
them analyze your database just to be sure. 

Cordially,

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
 
Regs

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,
