248.0. "HUBwatch/windows 1.0 Beta 11 questions" by HGOVC::LILLIANTANG () Tue May 25 1993 06:11

Following problem or feature was noticed from Hubwatch /windows beta 1.1

1.  DECserver 90TL appeared as a DECrepeater 90T on HUBwatch screen.
    DECagent 90 VT console identified it as a DECserver 90TL with no
    problem.  

2.  As a test, I unplugged a DECrepeater90T module away from the hub
    and put it back in later.  Fr the agent VT console, the module was 
    removed from the screen and later reappeared as expected.  From
    Hubwatch/windows, a red alarm occurred with 3 beeps every 1 minute.
    However, the alarm did not clear away even if the module was put back
    to the same slot.  Alarms had to be cleared manually.  Is this a 
    planned feature?  As the agent was able to detect the change 
    accurately (as demonstrated by its console), how come this information 
    was not passed to hubwatch?

3.  When is FRS for HUBwatch/windows?

thanks
    

    have found answer to 1. from other notes in this conference.
    
    With the 'graph' option under performance menu, keep getting error
    message to enter instance information even though an object selected 
    automatically filled in the 'selected object field'.  (MIB object
    chosen was a counter type).

    2.  HUBwatch for Windows does not clear errors.  They have to be reset. 
    That is the way the program is written.  When we get to V2.0 (December)
    it will work just like HUBwatch for VMS where HUBwatch will display the
    current state.
    
    3. FRS for HUBwatch for Windows is 1 July 1993.
    
    PS- try Beta 14 which is now up on EMDS::MANAGEMENT:
