Kevin,
The configuration all looks correct.
The /etc/histlns and /etc/histlocs file can be changed by the running system
also. If the OM has entries for another workstation hosting a historian it
will dynamically add to this file. Assuming that all stations have been
committed with the same committed install this would be an impossibility
though.
I am going to check to make sure, but I am reasonably sure that the
histstart or the actual go_AIMHISTORIAN should only be launched by the
workstation that is serving or hosting the historian. All other stations
would use OM to get to the data from the historian through this workstation.
I am still very confused on how you can have 2 ipchisti processes running,
basically on the same node at the same time with the same historian instance
name. This is troubling because there are safeguards built into the
software to prohibit this. It may be because the historian instance is
actually located on a seperate machine and not hosted or located directly on
the node.
All of the historian services, ie, histsend, histreceive, iocol should be
controlled by the remote server (w2k machine). This is why I am reasonably
sure that only the P101AW should be the only workstation actually starting
historian services. AIMAPI is all that is required to get the data to the
remote collector.
What version of AIM AT is installed? Hopefully, V3.2.3.
I will test this setup and get back with you, but if you may want to try
commenting out the AIMHISTORIAN line in the /usr/fox/bin/fox_apps.dat file
on the P401AW to see what results you get.

Right, I think I understand what you were asking for now. I'll put a
copy of
the configuration at the end of this email.

Yes, these files remain. Committals have the potential to change these,
but
don't unless I've made sysdef changes that would cause them to be
rewritten.
Thanks for helping!
