MIBTools
Known MIBTools Anomalies in SPECTRUM 6.0
Problem 1: On the NT platform, the MIBTools application may not appear
under the Icon Subviews Utilities menu. Installation logs may report that
ÒMIBTools failed to register properlyÓ even though SPECTRUM
installed successfully. The install logs are located in the following
directory:
$SPECROOT/LOGS_xxxxxx
You may also receive the error message, ÒApplication failed to
initialize properly.Ó
Solution:
1. Locate the mibmgr.exe file using File Manager or Explorer and double-
click it. This starts the MIBTools application. If the application fails to
start, you must reinstall SPECTRUM.
2. If you are successful in starting MIBTools but the database seems to be
empty, you must check to see if two database files are present. These files,
csmibds.mdb and tempdb.mdb, are located in the following directory:
$SPECROOT/mibtools/db
If you still cannot access MIBTools or the databases are empty, call
SPECTRUM Phone Support.
Problem 2: On the Solaris platform, when you access the MIB menu, the
MIB2 view is very dark making the menu items difficult to read.
Solution: In .Xdefaults file, choose a set of foreground and background
colors that provide better contrast. Try changing the colors in the following
resources: OpenWindows*background and Mwm*background.
