To open a problem with NetView Level 2 you would follow the procedure that
all IBM customers follow in your local community.  There is one standard
phone number and one e-mail address for all IBM products.  I cannot tell
you what that is in the UK, but your IBM sales team surely knows it.  And
if you do not have a service agreement, the call will confirm that.  Who
knows?  You might be pleasantly surprised.

I suggested that you call service because getting "No FMT found" in
trapd.log, after you have run mib2trap on the MIB and then run the output
addtrap script to add these traps to trapd.conf, indicates there is an
mismatch between what's in the MIB and what the agent is actually sending.

You can correct this manually, as Shawn suggested.  The "No FMT found"
message in trapd.log will tell you the enterprise id, the specific trap
number, all the varbinds sent with the trap, and their contents.  That's
enough to construct your own definition using xnmtrap.

I sent you to Level 2 because just starting out with NetView can be
daunting, and they are well -equipped to handle all kinds of newbie
questions and issues.  It's one of the things they do best.

Thanks for your responses!

Sean - Netview (V7R1) is running on AIX 5.3.
James - Forgive my perpetual ignorance! - how do I get in touch with
Netview Level 2? I'm not sure we have any support in place for this
product, due to its age and lack of relative importance (pah!!) in what we
do... Will they not talk to me without a support agreement?

I'll do the tracing you suggested in the meantime.


Thanks again,


Greg
