Problem with HUBwatch Alarms and UCX
------------------------------------

A customer had a problem bringing up the Alarms Poller and Viewer 
applications because their system information was not correctly setup 
in the UCX hosts database.

The Alarms Viewer and Poller both try to get the hosts IP information.
If this is not correctly setup in UCX then a failure is returned 
and these applications will not start.


Errors Received
---------------

$ watch/poller
Can not start HWPOLLER
$ watch/viewer
nms_socket_connect: non-translatable vms error code: 0x182B2, vms message:

The Fix for UCX
---------------

Correctly have your system in the UCX hosts database.  You can 
accomplish this by the following steps:

   $ ucx
   ucx> set host system_name /address=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 
   ucx> show host system_name
   ucx> exit

You should now be able to run the Alarms Poller and Viewer.


MultiNet
--------

I have not seen this problem on a system running MultiNet.

    Hello,
    
    Does anyone know how you configure a VMS machine with 2 ethernet
    controllers, so that the poller uses the correct ip address.
    
    Thanks,
