I use a script that does this: #!/bin/ksh #set -x ADDR=$1 if [ -z "$ADDR" ] then echo "syntax is $0 ipaddress" exit fi ADADDR=$ADDR"AD" RESULT=`/usr/OV/bin/nvUtil e '("IP Address" = '$ADDR') || ("IP Address" = '$ADADDR')'` echo $ADDR $RESULT If it is not found, it just returns the address you entered. If it is found, it includes the Selection Name of the interface object. That is, of course, the Selection Name of the parent node and the ifDescr or address for the interface, separated by a colon. My script has, I am told, a really stupid name, so you should make up a better one. I use another version that takes a list of addresses or names and returns this information, and for speed, it uses checks the output of a fresh ovtopodump instead of doing the nvUtil for each one. #!/bin/ksh #set -x FILE=$1 if [ -z "$FILE" ] then echo "syntax is $0 filename" echo " where filename is a file that lists addresses." exit fi echo "# Getting fresh ovtopodump to search against." TOPO=/tmp/topo.out ovtopodump > $TOPO echo "# Addr, Name if input item : node its on, status, address : input record" while read -r RECORD do ITEM=`echo $RECORD | cut -f1 -d"," | cut -f1 -d" "` if [ -z "$ITEM" ] then continue fi HOSTDATA=`/usr/OV/bin/nvgethost $ITEM ` # It returned something if [ -z "$HOSTDATA" ] then # item is a name that does not resolve, use as is RESULT=`grep "$ITEM " $TOPO | tail -1 | awk '{print $2,$3,$4}'` if [ -z "$RESULT" ] then RESULT="MISSING" fi echo "$ITEM unresolved : $RESULT : $RECORD" else NAME=`echo $HOSTDATA | cut -f1 -d" "` ADDR=`echo $HOSTDATA | cut -f3 -d" "` if [ "$NAME" = "$ADDR" ] then HOSTDATA="unresolved" # an address that does not resolve (useless information) fi RESULT=`grep "$ADDR " $TOPO | tail -1 | awk '{print $2,$3,$4}'` if [ -z "$RESULT" ] then RESULT="MISSING" fi echo "$ADDR $NAME : $RESULT : $RECORD" fi done < $FILE Cordially, Leslie A.

NetView has no such tool. Perhaps someone else has already written one and will respond. ovobjprint takes selection names as an argument, because it is ov-object-print and the objects in the database are known by their selection names. IP addresses are part of the TopM Interface list, which is an object property. We have no tools to search objects by properties. Dumping the database seems easy enough to me, and you could write a script to search it with your IP addresses. Or you could use nvdbformat to write a report which lists just the interface list for each selection name if that would help. You could also dump the topology database with ovtopodump -lrv and search that if you would prefer. But to search without dumping would require that you write your own application using the OVwDb API routines, such as OVwDbGetFieldVlaue, discussed in the Windows Programmer's Guide.

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.
