Re: [NV-L] Problems with snmpwalk and status polling

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

Did you try just closing the GUI and restarting it?  That's the first thing
I would do.  Since your client is working, that means the daemons
underneath are working and you don't need a restart of them.

Then I would go to \usr\ov\log\nv.log and look for error messages,
especially ones about ipmap bailout or other failures.

Try snmpwalk from a command window.  It has a -d option you can specify
which will hex dump what it is doing to the window.  You can see the host
and the community name it's using and so on.

And if you are not on FixPack 4 already, I would make plans to get there
soon, in case you cannot resolve this on your own and need the assistance
of IBM Support.

HTH,

Dear Members,

I am having some problems with Netview 7.1.4 (Windows box) regarding the
ping test window and the snmpwalk command.
Today is the third day that I arrived at work to find my netview with a
strange problem: Some objects appear as DOWN on the map and, when I try to
test them the test window does not open! My next step was to try the
snmpwalk, and I noticed that it didn't work either. It's not like an usual
'no response' behavior, it seems like snmpwalk is not eve trying to reach
the host (any host actually).
The most bizarre thing is that the client that is connected to this server
is working perfectly, showing interfaces in the correct status and opening
the test window.
I know for sure that if I ovstop/start the server things will return to
normal, but I would like to know if anyone knows how to avoid this from
happening or what's causing this problem.

Thanks in advance,
Marcelo Zacchi
