Integration in Tivoli NetView 39
Configuration and Operation Configuring with the Map Application
sysObjectID_Value
This parameter identifies a value for the MIB variable sysObjectID from
the MIB-II in dot notation, beginning with a period, for example:
“.1.3.6.1.4.1.231.1.3.1” - this is the value returned by all SINIX-N
systems as a sysObjectID. All nodes returning this value for sysObject are
to be tested for support of the MIB variables with object identifier
MIB_ObjectID.
In NetView you can use the “Configuration - System Information” menu
item to check if a specific node returns a value for sysObjectID and which
value is returned.
MIB_ObjectID
This parameter identifies a MIB variable that must be supported by each
individual node in order to receive the new symbol type. This variable is
specified with the object instance (always “.0” for scalar objects) without
the period prefix. For example, “1.3.6.1.4.1.231.2.10.2.1.3.0” identifies
the object sniInvCondition from the inventory MIB.
New_Symbol_Type
This parameter identifies the symbol type to be assigned to all symbols
(in the open map) of a node supporting the specified MIB variable. This
symbol type must be a type already known in NetView, and is specified
by entering the symbol class and symbol subclass, separated by a colon,
e.g. Computer:FujitsuSiemens. You can view the symbol types defined in
NetView by selecting the Object – New menu option. If this parameter is
not a symbol type known in NetView, the Poll application terminates
immediately.
Blank lines and comment lines (which must start with “#” in the first column) are
permitted in this configuration file.
The lines of the configuration file are compared against each node in the order
in which they are specified. If there are several lines with the same
sysObjectID_Value, only the first line specified is valid; other lines with the same
sysObjectID_Value are ignored. The node is always tested only for support of the
MIB variables from the first matching line. In this case, “matching” means that
the node returns the specified value for the MIB variable sysObjectID and there
is no symbol representing the node in the open map which has the symbol type
New_Symbol_Type.
