RE: Fw: [nv-l] Read-Write Map Unavailable

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

Joel,

 

In my shop we set the netviewd daemon to run a read-only map for the web console users.  This allows us to open the AIX gui using the command netview (without the -dconsole).  What we did... (as usual, try in test first to ensure it does'nt mess anything else up :-))

 

ovstop netviewd

ovdelobj netviewd.lrf

 

Edit netviewd.lrf to look like the following (see highlighted  -ro)

 

netviewd:/usr/OV/bin/netviewd:
OVs_YES_START:nvsecd pmd ovwdb trapd ovtopmd ovactiond nvcorrd actionsvr nvserverd:-spmd 2 -ro:OVs_WELL_BEHAVED:30:

ovaddobj netviewd.lrf

ovstart netviewd

 

This allows us to open and close a read/write map from AIX without affecting our web-console users.

 

As to why it only started causing the problems you are experiencing, this week, - I cannot answer that

 

Enjoy...

Ok, but this just started this week. We were always able to run with just the nv6000 command previously. Do I need to disable the web console then to stop this?

Thank you,

I stand corrected.  It is
     netview -dconsole

FYI - I think dconsole is all one word (no space)  ...  netview -dconsole

netviewd always gets the map read-write unless you take it away from him.
The ovstatus shows it's no mystery who has it.
If you want to take the read-write map away from him, then start the GUI
with
     netview -d console

But if there are users on the web client, this will boot them off and they
will have to log back in.  They get whatever map netviewd has

Every time I open the NetView GUI, using nv6000, I get a read-only map. I
have killed all processes, booted all users, and even re-booted the box.
Map still comes up read-only. When doing an ovstatus immediately following
a re-boot, I get the following:

object manager name: netviewd
behavior:            OVs_WELL_BEHAVED
state:               RUNNING
PID:                 23478
last message:        Initialization complete, opened map 'default' as
Read-Write.
exit status:         -

How can I find out what's opening the Read-Write map and how can I stop it?

Thank you,
