Abstract: 8260 & 8265 devices do not display in ATM Campus group                
                                                                                
                                                                                
After doing a discovery, 8260, 8265 and 8210 devices are not showing in         
ATM Campus and IP Internet groups. SNMP community strings have been             
verified using SNMPWALK. Is it possible that the modules for these              
devices have not been properly installed? How can I check?                      
                                                                               
If you cannot reach me at my phone, please page me at 800-533-5645.

    After this verification, the objects still did not show on the mao.

I have created a seed file hoping that it would help the discovery              
process; however, devices added to the seed file list are not displaying

A:                                                                              
The problem on the machine is that ipmap was failing. Discovery was             
finding the objects and putting them into the object database, but with         
ipmap failing, there was no ip map in Netview.  Had to start ovwdb,             
ovtopmd, and netmon separately, they all strated.  I had obdelobj'd             
all of the Nways daemons and moved the Nways registration files so that         
they wouldn't chew it up.  Then discovered ovtopmd was failing, so              
netmon fell over.  Could not do ovstart, so to find the breakage,               
started first 'ovstart ovwdb', then ovtopmd, then netmon. Left that to          
stabilize for a few minutes, then ran ovstart alone for the rest. After         
that, added the Nways lrf's back in, then moved the Nways registration          
files back in place, and fired him up.  All was VERY slow (45 minutes           
to get the gui all the way up, but it cam up, 8260's and 65's were there        
the ATM topology correctly contained 7 PNNI peer groups and no default         
cluster.  So, we're on the way.  Letting it run a while to be sure,             
then will wait to talk to Maria on Monday.

Called customer to check on status. System is working OK now.                   
Customer says that she hopes to get a "bigger" AIX box wit more memory          
soon to help the NWAYS load.
