Using the SEHI Hub View
Navigating through the Hub View, monitoring hub performance; managing the hub
The heart of the SPECTRUM Portable Management Application (SPMA) for the
SEHI is the Hub View, a graphical interface that gives you access to many of the
functions that provide control over the device.
Using the Hub View
There are two ways to open the Hub View: if you are working within a network
management system, you can select the Hub View option from the icon menu;
specific directions for creating a SEHI icon and accessing the icon menu can be
found in the appropriate Installing and Using SPECTRUM for... guide. If you are
running the SEHI module in a stand-alone mode, type the following at the
command line:
spmarun hubstack <IP address> <community name>
The community name you use to start the module must have at least Read access;
for full management functionality, you should use a community name that
provides Read/Write or Superuser access. For more information on community
names, consult the appropriate Installing and Using SPECTRUM for... guide,
and/or the Community Names chapter in the SPMA Tools Guide.
NOTE
The spmarun script invoked first in the above command temporarily sets the environment
variables SPMA needs to operate; be sure to use this command any time you launch an
application from the command line. This script is automatically invoked when you launch
an application from the icon menu or from within the Hub View.
If there is a hostname mapped to your SEHI’s IP address, you can use <hostname> in
place of <IP address> to launch the Hub View. Please note, however, that the hostname is
not the same as the device name which can be assigned via Local Management and/or
SPMA; you cannot use the device name in place of the IP address.
