The only hope in keeping your maps across a rediscovery that I know of is a tool on the NetView User Group site which will deconstruct your database and create a location.conf file. It has helped a number of us out of a fix.

Maps? When you clear the databases listed in the option, object/topology/*maps*, your maps will be destroyed. They cannot be saved. The three databases are interdependent. Loss of just one means the other two are worthless.

So if you have made manual cut-and-paste changes to your maps, they will be gone too. If you have a location.conf, then the maps will be rebuilt according to that, but that is all. Everything else on the map will default, according oid_to_type and oid_to_sym, as the objects are re-discovered.


SNMP configuration and trap configuration are not part of the databases in /usr/OV/databases/openview and are not affected. The MIB data bases are not affected. Those are all small, independent items in /usr/OV/conf.

Ok, great..

How about the MAPS, SNMP configuration info, etc.

Thanx.

I'd do an ovobjprint to a file first so that you can be sure that you find everything you expect to. And ovobjprint -S will give you the total object count before you start.

You can easily accomplish the clear by using serversetup, "Maintain --> Clear Databases". Choose "Clear object /topology/map databases, save customizations" to preserve your smartset definitions else they will be wiped out too.

[NV-L] Re-Discovery

        


Morning all-

I have a 7.1.3 environment, and I'm looking at performing a re-discovery of all objects to make sure that all of the SNMP agents are functional. What would be the best method to accomplish this? Are there any gotchas I need to be aware of?

Thank you.
