RE: [NV-L] Smartset gets deleted automatically

Is it possible that you have a location
submap named UPS? Or a device?
Do
   ovobjprint -s | grep UPS

Subject	RE: [NV-L] Smartset gets deleted automatically

Thanks James,

nvUil L doesn't list the name UPS

The SmartSets named UPS gets deleted and all other SmartSets created have
no issues.  I created "UPS" three times and noticed that
it gets deleted after few days. Once I noticed that after an ovtotopfix
-a, this SmartSets got deleted 

Do you think an issue with the NAME?- "UPS".  I have created
another SmartSets with same criteria and that exists! 

Best regards,
Anvaj

It's a strange problem all right, because NetView has no method of deleting
smartsets automatically so far as I know, short of clearing the databases
or de-installing the product. They only get deleted when you use the clear
databases facility with the "do not save customizations" option.
They can also be deleted with nvUtil manually but that is all. Since there
is no automatic deletion mechanism, there is no mechanism to trace.

Do an "nvUtil L" and get a list of all your smartsets, or "nvUtil
G" to get a list with their descriptions and rules. Are you sure the
"UPS" one is gone?
Or is it there and just empty? "nvUtil l UPS" with a lower case
letter "l" will list the members.

What is the criteria for membership in UPS? Could it be that the node attributes
in the database are getting changed so that nodes lose membership? 

For example, if part of the criteria is "isSNMPSupported" and
the community name gets changed so that the node doesn't respond during
a config check, then netmon will change that database attribute to FALSE
and that node will no longer be considered part of the smartset.

[NV-L] Smartset gets deleted automatically






NetView 7.1.4 -FP04 on RH3 

I am facing a strange problem of SMARTSETS named "UPS" get deleted
automatically after some days from Netview

Request your suggestions on the possible cause of the problem? And how
will I trace the smartest related activities?

Best regards,
Anvaj
