7. After these initial checks, we discovered the remaining segments of our lab
environment in NetView. We added another location and named it Isolated
Subnets to hold the isolated network segments. Our final NetView topology is
shown in Figure 9-15.

8. Shortly after NetView finished its discovery, the corresponding hierarchy was
available in IBM Tivoli Business Systems Manager. From this point on, all
changes in the NetView hierachy and in the status of the NetView resources
were reported to IBM Tivoli Business Systems Manager.

With the data uploaded, you can now drill down and display different views of the
network, such as table view or the topology view shown in Figure 9-17 on
page 303.

Notice that the topology view in IBM Tivoli Business Systems Manager is
somewhat different from NetView as the relationship between the displayed
resources is drawn as you drill down into the topology.

NetView reports all its resources and their attributes to IBM Tivoli Business
Systems Manager as discussed in 9.5.2, “How NetView resources are handled”
on page 297. Events received by NetView also are reported to IBM Tivoli
Business Systems Manager, and they change the status of the affected
resources accordingly. In addition, NetView reports all the attributes a resource
owns in NetView to IBM Tivoli Business Systems Manager.
For more information from NetView in case of a status change or an event
signalling a possible problem, open the NetView IBM Tivoli Business Systems
Manager adapter’s interface to the NetView Web console from the IBM Tivoli
Business Systems Manager Java console. For all the physical objects reported
by NetView, IBM Tivoli Business Systems Manager offers a Launch submenu

that contains three entries you can use to retrieve information direct from
NetView, as shown in Figure 9-18.
