I've a win2k running NNM 6.2, patch lvl 923

When I have an event for a IV_node_down, and pass the event variables to an email messages, I'm getting the wrong information.

$2 should be the node name or IP address, but I'm getting something like: 0x0002A5E24149

This looks like the MAC address to me.

Advice?

I had the same problem. I can't remember exactly, but I think I replaced the "$2" with a "$a" or "$A" and it fixed it. They (HP) changed some of the variable def's from 6.1 to 6.2. I found the changes by searching the help files for the word "variable" I believe.

This is where I has to admitt to missing the obvious. What was wrong in this scenario was the user had DHCP installed. The information I was getting back was the MAC address of PCs as they were going up and down. Once an IP is reported to NNM by more than one MAC address, NNM flags it as DHCP and then reports the MAC address vs. the IP with the $2 variable.

Thanks for the help anyway!
