2782.0. "PROBEWATCH-DIGITAL-UNIX needed" by DECPRG::PILAR () Wed Sep 20 1995 20:31

    Where can I get PROBEWATCH-DIGITAL-UNIX pak. It seems to be necessary
    to run Probewatch V3.3.1
    
    Thank you in advance

2782.1may have a mismatchNAC::FORRESTWed Sep 20 1995 21:488
    If the one on bhub is out of date, check
    NAC:NIPG:[MANAGE.RMON]OSF_V33.PAK
    
    We are doing some last minute debugging in the LMF code, because we 
    changed the product name from PROBEwatch for OSF to Digital Unix. So if
    the one you copy doesn't work, check again on the next day or two.

    Hi
    
    I copied and installed the PAK in .1.  I also copied and installed the
    V3.3 kit.  When I try to start PROBEwatch, I'm seeing:
    
    idgosf.hlo.dec.com# source .netscout
    idgosf.hlo.dec.com# bin/nsman
    ERROR: This application will not run successfully unless it is used

    Thoughts?

    Re .2, where did you get your 'ok' license from?  VTX PAK does not have
    a PROBEWATCH for Digital UNIX PAK, nor do the PAKs I've seen mentioned
    here work with V3.3.
    
    Thanks!

    Sorry to whine, but has any in PROBEwatch Engineering actually tried
    these steps:
    
    1.  I copied and added NAC::NIPG:[MANAGE.RMON]OSF_V33.PAK to my system:

    2. Then, I copied the kit noted in 2734.1, un-tar'd and installed it.
    The installation went just dandy:
    
    Configuring "PROBEwatch for Digital UNIX AXP V3.3" (PRBWTCH330)
    
      Installation Configuration for
      (PRBWTCH330) PROBEwatch for Digital UNIX AXP V3.3
    
      Do you want to install the necessary files for launching
      PROBEwatch from POLYCENTER Manager on Netview for
      DEC OSF/1 AXP on this system [y/n]?  y
    
      THERE ARE NO MORE QUESTIONS TO ANSWER.
    
      The installation will continue automatically from this point.
      The installer is advised to read all notes printed during the
      installation process for important information on the proper
      operation of (PRBWTCH330) PROBEwatch for Digital UNIX AXP V3.3.
    
      The installation and configuration of
      PROBEwatch for Digital UNIX AXP V3.3 has completed.

    So, it looks like I've copied the latest kit and the latest PAK.  But
    the kit is still expecting the old PAK.
    
    What gives?

    Hello Terry,
    
    	Sounds like a problem I had when I unpacked the TAR file....
    
    	In your working directory (Where you have your TAR file) and the
    directory below, delete all other files except for the Probewatch
    V3.3.1 tar kit. Then re-do the unpack of your TAR file and re-install.
    
    	This should work. as your have some files from the OSF (and UNIX)
    kit laying around.
    
    Good Luck,
    
    Tom

    I did this.  I also tried a setld -d, followed by deleting all of the
    files in /usr/kits/PROBEwatch.  When I reinstall, PROBEwatch tried to
    find a PROBEWATCH-FOR-OSF PAK.

2782.9More notes from the field...BSS::PROCTOR_RHe's BAAAAAAACKK!!!!!Tue Oct 24 1995 21:029
    I tried the same scenario, V3331 kit, the new and improved license
    (PROBEWATCH-DIGITAL-UNIX installed). It looks like the setld -v PRBWTCH331
    IVP still barfs, yet running a /usr/kit/PROBEwatch/bin/dvadmin 
    seems to not complain about the absence of a license.
    
    so it looks like the kit works OK, but the license (so far as the IVP
    goes) is messed up.
    
    Is this what they call job security?
