3780.0. "When VMS_AM, U*X_AM, OSF_AM access modules ?" by MONTEZ::MONTEZ (The impossible takes a litle longer...) Mon Sep 21 1992 16:53

    Hi there.
    
    After playing, and showing DECmcc for costumers, a number of questions 
    came up.
    
    We tell costumers that EMA, is here to manage everything!!!,
    Meanwhile, DECmcc only manages networks devices.
    
    Will be possible to manage a VMS or ULTRIX node too ?
    
    example:
    	- rebooting a node.
    	- create/delete/modify user accounts .
        more important:
    	- monitoring system load 
    		- memory, cpu, disk usage 
    		- number of users            
    	- Create alarm rule on system load	
    	- create alarm rule on audit alarms
    
    With the script AM , some of these things are possible.
    But , I think that another AM   ( VMS_AM, ultrix_AM ) will be better.
    For performance issues,we have already the code for cluster monitor process.
    
    Another wish: Change protocols!
    
    	_ suppose that you disable a DECNET circuit, after, you cannot enable
    	  it, because you need to do a $ @STARTNET.COM  and NML is not
    	  there to help you.
    	- but, if the enable command speaks LAT,SNMP,ETC, it will be possible. 
    
    In the future all the pollycenter (solutions) products, will be DECmcc
    like ? Will be a good idea to have a "do it all" management solution ?
      
    any ideas ?
