5362.0. "GIGASWITCH SUPPORT" by ROM01::ESPOSITO () Tue Jul 20 1993 12:49

Hi to everybody,
do anybody know which parts of decmcc are adequate to manage a gigaswitch 
system? 
I suggested Polycenter Network Manager 400. I'm I right?

Any hint will be appreciate

		thanks

5362.1What's adequate?VCSESU::WADEBill Wade, VAXc Systems & Support EngTue Jul 20 1993 12:558
     It depends on what you define as "adequate".
    
    The Polycenter Framework contains the SNMP AM which is required to
    communicate with the GIGAswitch.   I know that I'd want the Notification 
    Services (either separately or in the Network Manager 400 package) for 
    alarming.
    
    
5362.2POLYCENTER NM 200/400 are both adequateCUJO::HILLDan Hill-Net.Mgt.-Customer ResidentWed Aug 18 1993 01:1613
    Any network manager that speaks SNMP will allow you to manage the
    Gigaswitch.  The examples in the release notes and "early ship"
    documentation are for DECmcc with some MSU.
    
    I have one customer using HP OpenView to manage it quite nicely,
    including alarms, etc.
    
    Most of the examples for DECmcc involve loading of firmware.  
    
    See note 5304 for some example DECmcc expressions for monitoring
    selected MIB objects.

5362.3Not simple from DECmccOSLACT::BJORNBj�rn Olav HaugomWed Aug 18 1993 05:3419
The first Gigaswitch in Norway were installed and setup using SunNet Manager.
The MIB Extensions were loaded into the system in seconds!!!! And up on the
screen in another few seconds. SunNet Manager was used further on to load the
firmware update into the Gigaswitch with simple point and click operations. The
user was unexperienced with SunNet Manager.

Before this they installed POLYCENTER Network Manager 200 V1.3 and loaded the
MIB Extensions, waiting for 6 hours to complete!!!! And after it was loaded the
documented MCC-commands to use for loading the firmware update into the
Gigaswitch failed with "Function SET is not support by entity EMA".  

The problem we see is that things are not that simple as we want them to be,
using DECmcc. What the reason for the problems are, can be many, at least the
description of the commands to execute must have been wrong.

Any comments!
