Re: [NV-L] MAX-ACCESS in mib files

[James Shanks <jshanks@us.ibm.com>]

MAX-ACCESS isn't a stand-alone construct.
 It would be parsed as part of something more fundamental, so before
diagnosis could begin, we'd need to know what that higher-level construct
is.

The three MIB loaders in NetView all
have different parsers, so they are susceptible to different kinds of problems.
 It's been a very long time since I have seen a problem with xnmloadmib,
since it just does SNMPv1, but that doesn't mean that there isn't one still
lurking in it.  And of course, the root of the problem may also depend
on what else you have already loaded.  

If you have a MIB that won't load then
the thing to do is to contact Support.  They should collect the MIB
and your current MIB database, the text and binary files from /usr/OV/conf,
so we can have a look at the entire package.

Subject	[NV-L] MAX-ACCESS in mib files

Just a glitch I saw yesterday which may save other
people pain....

I was importing  the  SNIA-SML-rev1-21.mib using NV 7.1.4 FP4
on AIX . 
It's an SNMP V1 MIB.  It loaded fine using the Web Console MIB Loader
but would NOT load using the xnmloadmib (Options -> Load/Unload MIBs)
utility.  It just hung and soaked CPU - had to kill the process.

After a large amount of trial and error, it turned out that there wre a
number of MAX-ACCESS statements in this MIB.  Changing them to ACCESS
made everything work fine.

Not sure why - mebbe James-the-MIB-guru has a simple explanation for us???

Cheers,
Jane
