3074.0. "Cannot run Hubwatch from Netview" by ZPOVC::YINGYONG () Sun Dec 17 1995 21:00

    I have got Hubwatch installed and was able to run it from command line
    using the -x option to specify the IP address of the node.  The -a
    option did not work because Hubwatch used nslookup to query DNS for the
    IP address with the specified name.  The node name was not known to
    DNS.  I even put in the name and IP
    address of the node in /etc/hosts, the IP address was still not able to
    be resolved.
    
    I could not invoke Hubwatch from Netview.  How is the agent file used ?
    Why is it that IP address, node name and MAC adddress have to be
    specified ?  The agent name or agent type was rather confusing.
    Could someone shield some light on this ?

3074.1See docs/notesNETCAD::FORINOMon Dec 18 1995 10:006
    Depending on what version of HUBwatch you have there is a detailed 
    explanation of running with Polycenter Netview.  It can be found in
    either the release notes (earlier versions) or in the documentation.
    
    Also see note 3029 for one problem that the installation does not
    do for you.
3074.2Problme fixed !ZPOVC::YINGYONGMon Dec 18 1995 19:515
    I have got the problem fixed.  The selection name in Netview did not
    tally with the agent name in Hubwatch's agent file, and Hubwatch tried
    to locate the name using nslookup.
    
    Merry X'mas.
