276.0. "SW Browser and ManageWISE" by SNOFS1::pcbu46.snl.dec.com::SNLV01::OGDEN (There's Nothing Quick Like A V8...) Mon May 19 1997 07:49

Hi,


Can someone advise on the following:

	A customer wishes to implement only Novell's ManageWise 
Management tool to monitor and obtain statistics, events and alarms etc 
from both Digital and Compaq servers. The customer wants to standardise 
on only one Server/Network Management tool.

Is it possible to obtain the information that is displayed via the 
ServerWORKS Manager Browser and have this accessed (run) from within 
Novell's Managewise without running ManageWORKS ? If so, how is it done? 
What agents or MIBs etc do I need?

I read notes 247.1 and 247.7 in this conference. Does this mean no to my 
answer above.

Any help or ideas would be appreciated.


Thanks

Gary Ogden

	Get from \\jules.ako.dec.com\public\mibs the MIB files in that directory.
	Enroll them in ManageWise.
	Then you should be able to set individual traps and look at MIB statistics.
	If ManageWise has the possibility to launch an external app based on the
	type Server.Digital (don't know exactly the OID, take a look in the MIBs
	to find it)then you could launch smb.exe with the command line
	"SMB -h <ipaddress>".  That should do the trick.
	Also take a look at the HP Openview Integration document that you can
	find on the "The Works" pages.

    I would say the .1 answer looks correct.  My answer would have been 
    based on the capabilities of ManageWISE ability to browse the HR MIB
    and retrieve similar information that the ServerWORKS browser
    retrieves.  My recommendation is to show the customer "all" the
    features of ServerWORKS Manager and win them over based on the fact
    that product is more robust than ManageWISE.  Many folks say they don't 
    need the extra features until they see how great they are, then they
    want the extra bells & whistles etc...
