417.0. "a Lot of requests" by RAISSA::CUNEO () Wed Sep 28 1994 16:39

    Hi,
    
    one of our customer asked us regarding:
    
    - I'm not able to open more than 10 console windows, PCM is not able to
    manage them ?
    
    - Is possible to locate the GUI on a node separated by the node where
    the consolidator is ? 
    
    - Is possible to send to different windows the same event coming
    from different groups of CPU's ?

    - I'm not able to open more than 10 console windows, PCM is not able to
    manage them ?

    Please explain more clearly EXACTLY what you mean!!
    
    - Is possible to locate the GUI on a node separated by the node where
    the consolidator is ? 

    You cannot LOCATE (i.e. run the program) it on another machine, but you can 
    DISPLAY it to another machine just like any other DECwindows display.
    
    - Is possible to send to different windows the same event coming
    from different groups of CPU's ? 
    
    YES define different filters with different systems defined in the filter
    and call different action names which call the same image e.g.

     ACTION SYSTEM1 runs console$eventlist for events from system1

     ACTION SYSTEM2 runs console$eventlist for events from system2


Cheers Simon....

    I am assuming you are running a VMS platform for this question. This
    is more than likely a process resource quota problem. Use the Authorize
    utility to increase quotas for the accounts that utilize the GUI:
    
    BYTLM=300000
    PRCLM=50
    PGFLQUOTA=200000

    No problem at all. It is a Motif application. Use the SET DISPLAY
    command just as you would for an Motif application.

    If I understand your question correctly, you want to display events
    from particular sets of CPU's to different windows. What you would need
    to do  is define multiple filters. For each filter, you will select
    the cpu's that are part of a logical group.
    
    Example:
    
      You have 2 clusters in your datacenter being monitored by one PCM
      engine and we'll call them CLUSTER1 and CLUSTER2. CLUSTER1 contains
      nodes  C1SYS1, C1SYS2, C1SYS3 AND C1SYS4. CLUSTER2 contains nodes
    C2SYS1, C2SYS2, C2SYS3, C2SYS4 AND C2SYS5. We will define filters 
    called CLUSTER1_FILTER and CLUSTER2_FILTER. it should be pretty obvious
    now where this is going. CLUSTER1_FILTER will have systems C1SYS1,
    C2SYS2, C1SYS3 and C1SYS4 selected in it's list of systems and of
    course CLUSTER2_FILTER will have all the systems in CLUSTER2 selected.
    Assuming you want to use the Eventlist Window as one of the actions,
    you would plug Multi-Line Window into the action list with the
    user-data field set to send the window to the appropriate display for 
    each cluster.
    
    Example:
    
        The operations staff for CLUSTER1 uses a workstation called OMCLU1
    and the operations staff for CLUSTER2 uses a workstation call OMCLU2.
    The user data for the different filters would be:
    
    Filter CLUSTER1_FILTER:              Filter CLUSTER2_FILTER:
    
    OMCLU1 0 0 DECNET 			 OMCLU2 0 0 DECNET
    
    
    Note that you could use some other transport instead of DECNET such
    as TCPIP or LAT depending on the available protocols and the type of
    workstation.
    
    Note also in our example that OMCLU1 and OMCLU2 are *not* the PCM
    engines. They are simply workstations running some flavor of
    Motif/X-windows software.
