2450.0. "Multi-hubwatch windows on PC etc." by PTOJJD::DANZAK (Pittsburgher �) Fri Jun 30 1995 10:15

    Is it possible to get multiple hubs viewed with HUBwatch at the same
    time?  I.e. launch multiple copies of HUBwatch on a relatively naked
    PC (i.e. one with out OpenView etc.)  Can it be done if you add
    Openview etc.?
    
    Thanks,
    j

No.  You can do that with the workstation versions, but not with the 
PC version.

2450.2Why not?PTOJJD::DANZAKPittsburgher �Thu Jul 06 1995 09:374
    Just curious...any reason why not?  i.e. customers who want multi-hub
    displays up on critical areas find it nice.

2450.3How?SLINK::HOODMaine State Bird: The black flyThu Jul 06 1995 15:425
Is this something that should be included in every HUBwatch for Windows?
Or should there be a HUBwatch for Windows, Multiscreen?  Are a lot of
people unhappy with the current product, or is it just a few big users?

2450.4Some input from CalgaryCGOOA::PITULEYAin't technology wonderful?Thu Jul 06 1995 17:4418
    I think multi-screen capability would add a level of usefulness to HW
    for Windows that just might make it more saleable.  Being able to look
    at and compare two configurations at the same time would be exceedingly
    useful in trouble shooting networks.  As it is, because of its *very* 
    limited scope, we are very often "forced" throw it into network deals we 
    do.  It has been considered by customers to be a weak point in the whole 
    DEChub strategy.
    
    Just my $.02 worth...

    PS: Yes, I am aware it is designed as a hub manager as opposed to a
    network manager but customers balk at having to run two management
    applications in order to get full control of their networks.
