Backing-up and restoring Netview/6000 maps.

Q: Customer would like to know how to backup one of two maps.   Also, 
he would like to know how to delete this map from the system.

Response:

Following are the processes for backing-up, deleting and restoreing
a Netview/6000 map.  My tests here at work show these procedure to
be valid.  The key is not starting the map immediately after recreating
it.  If you do start the map, a new map will be created over the 
information that you just restored. 

***************************************************************

To backup and delete a map:

1) Start Netview/6000.
   
   nv6000

2) Copy the map information to a temporary location.
   
   cp -R /usr/OV/databases/openview/mapdb/\ /tmp/\
   
3) Delete the map from Netview/6000.

    IP MAP
      File
        Delete Map...
      
    Select the map.
    Select Delete.

4) Backup the map information to tape.

   tar -cvf/dev/rmt0 /tmp/\
   
***************************************************************

To restore a map:

1) Start Netview/6000.

   nv6000

2) Load the map information from tape.

   tar -xvf/dev/rmt0 /tmp/\
   
3) Copy the map information into the Netview/6000 directory.

   cp -R /tmp/\ /usr/OV/databases/openview/mapdb/
   
4) Create a new map.

   IP MAP
     File
       New Map...
       
   Enter \
   Select OK.
   
   *** !Do NOT load the new map at this time! ***
   
   Select Cancel when asked to load the new map.

5) Open the map.

   IP MAP
     File
       Open Map...
       
   Select \ from list.
   Select Open Map. 
        

Response:

How to prevent the tool pallete and navigation tree from loading upon
the startup of Netview/6000:

/usr/OV/app-defaults/OVw

OVw*toolPalettePresent:         True   \<-- Change to False
OVw*navTreePresent:             True   \<-- Change to False

These are the Xdefaults that should be modified to keep the toolbar
and the navigation tree from appearing when you startup NetView/6000.
You can make these changes in the file listed above, or you can
add these defaults to your personal Xdefaults file.
