RE: HP Openview

["Daniska Tomas" <tomas () tronet com>]

the newer openview you have the more alarms it generates... you need to spend a hell lot of time tuning alarm 
correlation etc.


by the way

did anyone see a nms that's capable of working in duplicate-ip environments like mpls vpns etc? e.g. one that'd use saa 
agents on cisco boxes (or vrf-aware remote commands) to poll the network...


thanks

A transistor protected by a fast-acting fuse will protect the fuse by blowing first.
