Hi Denis,
How about some unsolicited feedback from a frontline
newbie?
I've been using NV 7.1.4 (FP4) on Windows 2003 Standard Edition for close
to a year. Whilst I did have some issues, I've learnt how to avoid them in
the future.
The first big problem I had was the server that I had inherited was
administered via Windows Remote Desktop Connection. This meant that my various
databases were corrupted and I had all sorts of object problems. After a lengthy
PMR, a fresh install was recommended. Since then, I use Tivoli Remote Control
for my day-to-day tasks and have had no further object
problems.
The second issue I had was because I was using the default MS Access
install for my snmpcollect database, this meant I had to regularly compact the
database and basically, it just became painful as it would fill my nv.log every
three days with Access errors.
Another "gotcha" is the files I had to copy of from \usr\ov\newconfig to
get TEC forwarding working properly for devices with dozens of
interfaces.
The lack of correlation in the Windows version is annoying but that
wouldn't vary between Windows versions.
Honestly, had I paid meticulous attention to every detail in the release
notes, I could have avoided these problems.
(I also expect to get paid out at the next Melbourne TUG meeting now that
I have admitted my newbish mistakes!)
Whilst, I have since upgraded to 7.1.5 (using DB2) because I have new
hardware, I had 7.1.4 (FP4) running quite nicely on
Win2k3 :)
Hope this helps,
Claire Bajelis
