Alarms in V3.0, V3.1 are OpenVMS only. Alarms are not in either the Windows
or OSF/1 versions of HUBwatch.

It is always nicer to sell Alphas. Maybe if you could sell enough of them,
Big Bob P will keep us around a while longer.

| 1161.2 | and an Alpha PC ? | TLSE10::SELLES | Pierre-Jean - Toulouse -France | Tue Jun 28 1994 10:02 | 21 |

OK for selling more Alphas ;-)
if we propose an ALpha PC , are the requirements
the same than for Intel PC ? memory ? disk ?
any test already done ?
i know V3 in the way of being done on Windows and OSF
( from status.txt ) but really , as the customer is sizing its
budgets , and as they have already PCs , i thought that alarms
would be a great differentiator between PC and OSF .
so why no alarms on OSF , as they are on VMS ?
anyway is it also realistic to pretend managing more than one
dechub900 with the PC ? this could help me in proposing osf
for that with multi-windowing feature .
thanks for your inputs

HUBwatch for OSF/1 is still being developed, so things like minimum
configurations aren't ready yet.
> so why no alarms on OSF , as they are on VMS ?
The reason alarms aren't on OSF/1 (but are on OpenVMS) is that the alarms
uses a separate already existing image, the MSU event daemon, which is a lot
more complicated to port than the HUBwatch image. Because we need to get V3.1
out SOON, that was a trade-off. This is *not* the long-term strategy for
HUBwatch for OSF/1, which *will* include an alarms component, maybe in the
release after 3.1.
With each release of HUBwatch the combinations of new hub modules, management
features, and O/S platforms is growing, and the HUBwatch group isn't.

Not at the same time, but you can swap between hubs with no problem.
