Re: [NV-L] CLI to determine whether or not IP address known ???

[Greg Keetch <gkeetch@ca.ibm.com>]

Hello,

The best tool I've found for querying the NetView object database for specific field values is the nvUtil SmartSet utility... In this case you could try something like this (Unix quoting here, so you may need to modify for Windows):

nvUtil e '((isInterface = true) && ("IP Address" = "192.168.1.200")'

This will return the Selection Name on Unix, and I believe the Object ID and Selection Name on Windows for an interface object with the specified IP Address. There is more you can do with this command which can be found in the manuals, or with something complicated, can be discovered by using the SmartSet GUI to create an example SmartSet that you can later view/modify the definition of.

Hope this helps.

Subject	[NV-L] CLI to determine whether or not IP address known ???

    M$ Windows Server 2003; SP1
    NV v7.1.4; FP04

Given a list of IP addresses, is there a CLI to determine whether or not
each address is already know to Netview, and already in the object
database?

ovobjprint appears to accept ONLY Selection Names.

Yes, I can dump the entire object DB, and query against the dump; but, I
would rather query by each individual address.

What do you think?
