James,
Where can I download IY53703. We have not started testing 7.1.4 yet as it is
tied to use splitting the
TEC database from our Netview/TEC server.
I need to get a fix in for this quick and a small patch will be easier to
fast track.

Subject: Re: [NV-L] Slotmap formatting change from 7.1.3 and
7.1.4?
The source of the problem is how Cisco sends that variable, as an octet
string, which by definition in SNMP, is printable ASCII. So trapd tries to
make the best sense of it he can. He will dump the whole string to hex but
only if at least half of it is unprintable, and in this case it is not.
Code was introduced in IY53703 for both 7.1.3 and 7.1.4 to handle this
situation, by forcing trapd to print hex when any part of the string is
unprintable, but you have to export an environment variable to use it. My
guess is that this is configured for the 7.1.4 machine but not the 7.1.3.
IY53703 is part of FixPack4 for 7.1.3, so if you have that level, then you
can do the following.
1. Edit /usr/OV/bin/netnmrc.pre (or create one if necessary) and put this
line in it:
export TRAPD_STRICT_HEX_FORMAT=TRUE
2. ovstop nvsecd
3. /etc/netnmrc (on AIX) or /etc/init.d/netnmrc (on Solaris or Linux)
This will force ovspmd to set the environment variables and trapd will
inherit it.
