Check /etc/snmp.conf and /etc/snmp.peers and make sure the smux entries for
mgragentd are there and correct.  You can match what's on the 01 box
because nothing has changed.  Basically snmpd.conf entries tell snmpd what
smux peers he can expect to connect, and the peers file tells those peers
what community string to use when they connect and what OID they will be
responsible for.  They have to match or the registration fails.

We're almost there James--

Mgragentd.log and netmon.trace show problems. This is from
mgragentd.log:
___________________________________________________

_____________________________________________________

Based on the smux settings in snmpd.conf I walked the MIB and no values
are returned for the Oid's under mgrAgentd. These values exist on
ustivux01 so I can only assume they were not populated when NetView was
reinstalled on tivux02. So there's my problem--is there something I can
do to repopulate these values outside SNMP set?

Thanks--Drew

OK, mgragentd is running on ustivux02.  Did you see anything suspicious
in
his log?

Another thing you might try is to turn on the netmon trace (netmon -M
-1)
and then demandpoll ustivux02 and see what gets written to the trace
about
him. Turn the trace off immediately following with netmon -M 0 to kept
as
much irrelevant stuff out of the netmon.trace file.   Even without
looking
at the trace you should see an attempt at getting the Manager Product
Name
in the demandpoll window or in the output from the command line
nmdemandpoll.  You could even compare the results from 01 which is
working
with those of 02 which isn't and see whether you can determine why.
