Each group of customers has a few loud proponents for 1-4 admins being able to manage an entire enterprise by themselves. IBM can't very well say "You're crazy", so instead, the Integrated Service Console came about. Ultimately, it's supposed to manage CSM, HMCs, AIX. SVCs, ESS, and all of the other three letter acronyms of IBM, plus more. -Josh On 06.03.06 at 14:25 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

In any site with more than 1 staff person, the division of labor is that the Storage person uses all the storage products, not just the Tivoli products; the Security person uses all the security products, not just the Tivoli security products, etc. It makes sense to drive all the Tivoli STORAGE products from one (non-websphere) interface, but not "everything".
