209.0. "Disappearing 90TLs with DEcagent" by WEORFI::RICKETTS () Wed Apr 21 1993 18:08

    
    Where are we with DECserver 90TL being managed with a DECagent!!!
    
    I have a situation where a customer who is trying to manage his
    DECserver 90TL with a DEcagent. The 90TLs are disappearing.
    He has updated his 90Tl load software to Ver1.1  but problem still
    exists that the 90Tl disappears after loading.
    
    Previous notes explain there is a bug but when can we see a release of
    the fixed software. 
    
    (They are using the 1 Mb Decserver 90TLs)
    
    Thanks In advance

209.1	HUBwatch 1.1 workaround	SLINK::HOOD	Just add water	`Wed Apr 21 1993 18:42`	11
	When HUBwatch V1.1 is released, you can use it to implement a workaround for the Disappearing 1meg DS90TL's. Use HUBwatch's Add Module window to add the DECserver90TL to the hub, and make sure you've got Slot Polling disabled. voila! Manageable 1meg 90TL's that don't disappear. The DS90TL's with >1meg do not disappear and don't require this special treatment. Tom Hood
209.2	Disappearing Decserver 90TL	WEORFI::RICKETTS		`Thu Apr 22 1993 00:16`	11
	Thanks Tom for quick reply, but sorry but I missed out that the customer who is having this disappearing trick with his Decagent 90, isnt running Hubwatch but is presently monitoring his network with just the DECagent and connecting thru the RS232 port on the Agent90 He is hoping to get the Hubwatch for Windows when its finally released. Likes the Cost compared to other management Systems. Steve
209.3	DECagent does not manage DECserver 90TL	EMDS::SEAVER	Bill Seaver, HUBwatch Mktg	`Thu May 27 1993 23:00`	7
	DECagent v1.1 (see EMDS::MANAGEMENT:AGENT_LOAD.TXT for a pointer) should show the DECserver 90TL. This will not help your customer at all, tho. The 90TL has it's own SNMP agent, so all the DECagent will show is the slot in the hub that contains the agent. Any management is done thru the agent in the 90TL and not thru the DECagent 90. The DECagent 90 only proxies for (and thus will give out of band management for) the DECservers 90 L/ L+, all DECrepeater 90s and DECbridge 90s.
