Re: [NV-L] Reg Removing unwanted nodes

[Leslie Clark <lclark@us.ibm.com>]

When you say remove old objects and
data, I assume you mean things that are red on the map and have been decomissioned?

You have to remove them from the map
manually first (Edit... Delete Object... From ALL Submaps). If you have
more than one map (the default  map is called 'default'), you have
to open each of them and delete it from them. 
There is also a Node Down Delete interval
that defaults to 7 days, at which time they will be removed automatically.
Interfaces are different. If an interface
is removed from a device, it will usually be removed from Netview automatically
on the daily configuration poll or demandpoll.
If you want to delete a node that is
up, however, you need to revise the seedfile to prevent its rediscovery,
then delete it.
You cannot delete an interface from
a router if it is really configured on the router. It will come back. 

So once you have done your deletes,
what housekeeping should you do to reconcile the different Netview databases?

The ovtopofix reconciles the topology
database with the object database. It only requires netmon to be stopped,
 I usually recommend this activity be done weekly:
        Close
maps.
        ovstop
netmon
        ovtopofix
-a     (or -A if you are using multiple maps and want them to
be different)
        ovmapcount
-a
        ovmapcount
-b
        ovstart
netmon

Restart the map, let it synchronize,
and follow any instructions that were given as output of ovmapcount -b.

Then take a backup using nvhotbackup.

Hi,

I am using Netview 7.1.4.4 on AIX 5L , DB is Oracle 9i
When I use ovtopofix, do I need to stop all daemon and database. Any best procedure to update the NV database removing the old objects and data regarding the object.

Thanks & Regards
