3120.0. "DECserver 300/500 supported ?" by UTRTSC::VELZEN (Pim van Velzen, CS/SSO Holland) Thu Jan 04 1996 12:13

A customer is using Hubwatch V3.1 on OpenVMS.
He is wondering if it is possible to manage his DECserver models
300 and 500 with Hubwatch.

As far as I know, the DECserver 500 does not implement a TCP/IP
protocol stack, so I assume that this one cannot be managed
via Hubwatch/SNMP.

The DECserver 300 V2.2A SPD states that it is manageable using
the SNMP-protocol.

The only question that remains is if Hubwatch makes this
possible for the DSV300 (although it's not mentioned in the
SPD) ?

Thanks in advance, Pim.

3120.1HUBwatch won't do it. You need TSM.SLINK::HOODMy God, what have I done to my spleen?Thu Jan 04 1996 14:4714
No, only hub-based DECservers can be managed with HUBwatch.

HUBwatch is not a general-purpose SNMP manager. It knows about specific
module types and their charactistics.  It then uses plain vanilla SNMP
to manage that list of known devices.

TSM provides highly specialized management for DECservers and is the only
management software for the servers you mentioned.. Even when you've got a
hub-based DECserver, TSM is a good compliment to HUBwatch, because it has
access to DECserver features and functions that aren't completely available
through HUBwatch.
