Currently, we use 4-physical servers running 30+ ISP client services each, that run the schedules and Web interface (via individual dsm.opt files and unique HTTP ports). Since the Web interface is going away, the only way we could come up with to get around the lack of a Web interface (for restores) is to let certain folks (operations and help desk) RDP into these servers and run the BA Client GUI and point to the appropriate dsm.opt file (via batch file).
We are open to suggestions if there is a better way to transition to no Web interface?
