2467.0. "Defining HUBloader environment variable" by RDGENG::GREID (Hail,Hail,Hail and Kill!) Wed Jul 05 1995 06:11

    Can someone please tell me how to correctly define the environment
    variable for HUBloader as it's not documented in the Install Guide,
    release notes or readme file.
    
    I have done :
    
    #setenv HUBWATCH_LOAD /usr/kits/HUBfirmware/firmware
    
    but when issuing a SHOW from HUBloader it still says 
    
    [WARNING] Please Set HUBWATCH_LOAD to Firmware Directory.
    
    I have tried :
    
    #setenv HUBWATCH_LOAD /usr/kits/HUBfirmware
    
    but no joy.
    
    Thanks,
    
    Giles.

 hello Giles.

  Could check with printenv command if the following variables are correctly
  set, with these it's works for me


HUBWATCH_LOAD=/usr/kits/HUBfirmware/firmware
HUBWATCH_HUBLOADER=/usr/kits/HUBfirmware/firmware
HUBWATCH_HUBLOAD=/usr/kits/HUBfirmware/firmware

    Jean-Yves,
    
    	Thanks for the info, I didn't have the last two set at all,
    however I still get the warning message in HUBloader. 
    
    Heres my output from printenv
    
    HOME=/
    SHELL=/usr/bin/csh
    TERM=vt300
    USER=root
    LOGNAME=root
    PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/bin/X11
    NSHOME=/usr/nshome/nshome

    HUBWATCH_LOAD=/usr/kits/HUBfirmware/firmware
    HUBWATCH_HUBLOADER=/usr/kits/HUBfirmware/firmware
    HUBWATCH_HUBLOAD=/usr/kits/HUBfirmware/firmware
    
    Can I ignore the warning, I have tried shutting HUBwatch and HUBloader
    down and restarting them, but I still get the error.
    
    Giles.

    Hi,
    
    	Well all the files look ok and I installed HUBloader from ROOT just
    the same as I had done with HUBwatch, Polycenter Netview and Probewatch
    and they are ok. Any files I should specifically check for ?
    
    Giles.

    Do you have the DEChub Consolidated Firmware kit installed?

2467.6DCF is all present and correct, sir !RDGENG::GREIDHail,Hail,Hail and Kill!Wed Jul 05 1995 12:316
    John,
    
    	Yes I have installed the latest DCF kit and all the files are
    present and correct in the directory /usr/kits/HUBfirmware/firmware.
    
    Giles.

  Do you start hubloader from root too ?
2467.8Environment variablesNETCAD::FORINOWed Jul 05 1995 14:3317
    The HUBloader uses 3 environment variables:
    
    HUBWATCH_LIBRARY - to access the HUBwatch agents file
    
    HUBWATCH_LOAD - to access the Consolidated kit firmware and
                    dcffiles.dat.  I don't remember if the Consolidated
                    kit gives you the flexibility to install the kit
    	            wherever you want but this environment variable
                    must be set to the directory where these files reside.
    		    For example, /usr/kits/HUBfirmware/firmware if you take
    		    the Consolidated kit installation defaults.
    
    HUBWATCH_HUBLOADER - this is where the HUBloader will create the status
                         message log file and the load from agents list
                         files.  Therefore, you need write access to the
    		         directory that you set for this environment
                         variable.
2467.9UID is ROOTRDGENG::GREIDHail,Hail,Hail and Kill!Thu Jul 06 1995 04:586
    Hello,
    	
    	Yes I am starting HUBloader from root and I have installed it to
    	the default directory locations. 
    
    Giles.

    re.4
    
    	I'm a bit confused here.  HUBloader on OSF cannot be installed
    seperately from HUBwatch like on WINDOWS.  HUBloader is part of the
    HUBwatch installation.

2467.11RDGENG::GREIDHail,Hail,Hail and Kill!Thu Jul 06 1995 12:456
    John,
    
    	Well, what I mean is that I fire up Hubwatch from root and then 
    invoke Hubloader from the pulldown menu, not separately.
    
    Giles.

    John,
    
    	Somehow one of my notes is missing here, all is ok now, after I 
    	rebooted the node and setup the variables in the /.login file.
    	
    	Now where the hell did that note go I put in after .9.
    
    	Anyway, should there be a bit in the HUBloader Help for these
    	variables, appologies if there is but I couldn't find it. 8)
    
    	Giles.
