254.0. "How many hubs / HUBwatch?" by HGRNCC::FARADAYCHONG (Faraday Chong@hgo 852-8053590) Fri May 28 1993 12:02

    We are designing a DEChub 900 based LAN, initially the LAN consists of
    four DEChub 900 MultiSwitch, each has two DECrepeater 900TM and one
    DECbridge 900MP, then there are about 110 units of DEChub ONE
    DECrepeater 900TM connect to the four hubs via in-hub DECrepeater
    900TM.
    
    Now my questions:
    
    (1) Can the whole network be managed by one HUBwatch for Windows? (With
    regard to number of hubs >110)
    
    (2) What if replace HUBwatch for Windows by HUBwatch for ULTRIX?
    (Ultimately by HUBwatch for OSF/1)

254.1HUBwatch (ULTRIX/OpenVMS) doesn't care how many hubs you've gotSLINK::HOODI'd rather be surfingThu Jun 03 1993 14:1513
There is no fixed limit of how many agents HUBwatch for ULTRIX or HUBwatch 
for OpenVMS VAX can handle.  Just keep adding them to your agents file.

I just tried it with an agents file containing 150 agents.  Except for it
being slow at the 2 specific times when the agents file was being accessed,
(startup and when the Manage Community window is invoked) it works normally.


Don't know about HUBwatch for Windows, though.

Subj:	RE: 254- any esitimate of Windows power with 900?

I would guess that a run-of-the-mill 486 with a DE200 DEPCA could keep 
up with 110 hubs, as long as HUBwatch is running in the foreground. If 
HUBwatch is typically run as an icon, and the user is running other 
heavy apps, then you run out of steam.
