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

["Glen Warn" <Glen.Warn@pemcocorp.com>]

Thanks everyone for your input.  I got lucky and found my problem (or identified my lack of understanding)  I have a few subnets I have not "plumbed" snmp and icmp access to yet (variety of firewalls to navigate).  As a result, those subnets were white (unreachable) which I thought was similar to unmanaged but I was wrong.  By changing them to unmanaged (until I update the firewall rules) I was able to regain green status all the way to the root map (hooray!!)

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

root - but zero "failing resources" found in submaps

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,
