What's in $NVA?
When you say the Agent address is in $NVATTR_1 is that as a string or an
IP address? In other words, who did the name resolution for that varbind,
the RAID server or your Solaris box? If the RAID server, then perhaps
when your Solaris machine, which presumably has a good DNS, will resolve
the agent address of the trap ($NVA) as a FQDN.
If not, then you'd need to resolve it again yourself in a script.

[nv-l] ibm server raid manager

Netview 7.1.4 Solaris 9
I’m setting up traps correlation from Windows servers (windows 2000 and
2003) running IBM Raid Manager Version 6.11.07 (2224)
The correlation passes the following variables:
$NVE Event OID
$NVG Generic Trap Number (6)
$NVS Specific Trap Number
$NVATTR_1 Agent Address
$NVATTR_2 Some variable
.
.
.
$NVATTR_6 some variable
The problem I’m having is that $NVATTR_1 (Agent Address) only displays the
agent windows name (local system) and not the fully qualified DNS name. Of
course this is causing problems to identify servers with the same windows
name, but registered on different DNS domains. I asked one of the Window’s
administrators to check if there is any way that the raid manager passes
the servers’ DNS name, but he has been unable to make any progress.
Has any one out there encountered this same issue???
For our trap processing to work, the offending device must be able to pass
its fully qualified DNS name.
Thanks for any help.
