2221.0. "NetView 4.1B on same system as UniCenter 1.1" by WOTVAX::DAVIESG (I had too much to dream last night) Thu Mar 06 1997 07:46

    Hi there,
    
    I have a management work station which I use for customer demos and
    fellow technical consultants skilling centre.
    
    It is an Alpha Server 1000 4/266 running Digital Unix 3.2D. I have
    Netview 4.1B installed and have used this, successfully, for customer
    demos for some time. I aslo have a number of other Polycenter tools
    configured on this box (PCM, PSW, OSCint, Scheduler etc) and all of
    them have run quite happily.
    
    However, I have now laoded CA-Unicenter v1.1 and have started
    experiencing problems with Netview. Are there any known problems with
    running UniCenter and Netview on the same box? I am assuming there is a
    connection because I had no problems until Unicenter went onto the
    system.
    
    Initially when I tried to enter Netview (issuing the pnv command as
    root) I'd just get to the "Starting POLYCENTER Manager on Netview
    daemons:" and instead of going into the GUI I would get text messages
    of daemon statuses out to the screen and a failure message saying that
    a number of the daemons had not started. Running pnvsetup could not
    rectify this.
    
    I then moved the Netview startup file from /sbin/rc3.d/S99nv_daemons to
    /sbin/rc3.d/S96nv_daemons and rebooted my system. This moved it in
    front of the UniCenter startup at /sbin/rc3.d/S98unicenter. On reboot
    Netview can now be started and you can get into the GUI. I can now
    drill down several levels and receive event messages. Functionality
    seems to have returned!
    
    However, when I exit NetView I get the following text message...
    
    ------------------------------
    File: /usr/OV/registration/C/advfs
    Line 51 
    Error: syntax error
    ------------------------------
    
    ...the entry on line 51 is "MinSelected 0;" Is this significant?
    
    Am I just being paranoid about UniCenter or could there be an issue
    here? Certainly moving the NetView startup before UniCenter has
    restored its functionality!
    
    Any opinions?
