NNM Discovery problem 1

[Vickdu]

Hi all

I have a problem.I can ping and poll and even walk a node.Everything is in order,added my node on my host file.The problem NNm does not want to add the device on the map.if I do a ovtopodump |grep <ip address> it is there on my database..My question is how do you delete a node from the database and rediscover it again.Because what happens now even if I try adding the device via the GUI i.e edit,add objects it says the node already exists or just dissappear from the map..

So I want to delete the node from the database ,how do i do that or is there any way of solving this issue?

Pls assist

Hi there Vickdu, try the following, it works every time:
1. Close every map but the Default map.
2. Select the node with problems, go to Edit, choose Delete from All submaps.
3. Move to your terminal and type xnmsnmconf -clearCache and close the default map.
4. ovstop netmon
5. Run ovtopofix -n , then look for the object with problems.
6. Run ovw -mapcount -ruD
7. ovtopofix -a
8. ovtopofix -n (there should be no errors reagrding the problematic object)
9. ovstart netmon.
10.If the object is properly configured on your DNS server, you can discover it again by &quot;pinging&quot; the full name.
