Using the EMM-E6 Hub View

Navigating through the Hub View; monitoring hub performance; managing the hub

The heart of the SPECTRUM Portable Management Application (SPMA) for the EMM-E6 is the Hub View, a graphical interface that gives you access to many of the functions that provide control over the EMM-E6-managed hub.

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 EMM-E6 icon and accessing the icon menu can be found in the appropriate Installing and Using SPECTRUM for... guide. If you are running the EMM-E6 module in a stand-alone mode, type the following at the command line:

spmarun emme <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.

NOTES

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 EMM-E6’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.
