3054.0. "Hub Config Backup/Restore" by HGOVC::ANTHONYCHIU () Mon Dec 11 1995 05:35

    Hello,
    
    I have a question from customer :
    
    Can our new version of HUBwatch for Windows 4.1.1 provide the
    functionality that it can backup/restore the Hub configuration file ?
    
    I know that clearVISN Resiliency Utility can do that, how about
    HUBwatch itself ?
    
    Thanks in advance for your answer !

3054.1	Not in HUBwatch	NETCAD::FORINO		`Mon Dec 11 1995 14:02`	4
	HUBwatch cannot perform this function and it is not planned to have it. You have to use the Resilency application if you need this function. John

	Let me expand on John's comments... The management software for enVISN is called clearVISN. clearVISN consists of a bunch of applications, including HUBwatch, Resilience, and others. In the future, these applications will be nicely integrated under the clearVISN umbrella, with common installations, common databases, common interfaces, etc. Work on this is happening right now. No, there's not a ship date yet. But, each clearVISN application is a separate application. The reason for separate applications rather than putting it all into HUBwatch are many: 1. HUBwatch is just too damned big. 2. HUBwatch is cheap. Its purpose is basic configuration. It needs to stay cheap. 3. We have a lot of demand for functions that go beyond basic configuration. 4. etc What these reasons amount to is that we want to continue to offer HUBwatch at an inexpensive price so that someone can configure their stack, DEChub 90, DEChub 900, GIGAswitch, etc. Adding big new features (like backup, like virtual network management, like events and alarms) is expensive. Customers needing basic configuration don't need these functions. Customers who need them will pay for them. Tom Hood clearVISN Applications

3054.5	Note 2876.*	SLINK::HOOD	My God, what have I done to my spleen?	`Thu Jan 04 1996 15:24`	10
	anonymous ftp it from slink.dechub.lkg.dec.com. When you get there, do a directory to find the latest version. The last one in there is x1.0.22. Note 2876.* gives directions on how to copy the files and has pointers to more Resilience information. Tom Hood clearVISN apps
