Well, that would be a good start, except that it's about $26/CPU too high a price. And if it requires any of the rest of the Tivoli monitoring structure to work, it wouldn't be viable anyway.
It does prove that someone at IBM was able to build a tool to report this information and I feel the utility should have been provided to those of us hit with the KPMG audit. Tom Kauffman NIBCO, Inc -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bill Mansfield Sent: Thursday, June 28, 2007 8:23 AM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Lost in TSM licensing IBM does have a tool that properly counts CPUs and cores for value unit licensing calculations. It's called Tivoli License Compliance Manager. Load an(other) agent on all of your TSM systems and periodically it will pop out a report of all your value units. List price about $26/CPU. I agree that TSM should contain something to help out with licensing, but be careful what you ask for - other vendors that do that enforce licensing by server (you have to get specific license key registrations for each server). Not a good tradeoff. Bill Mansfield Solution Architect Logicalis, Inc. CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This email and any attachments are for the exclusive and confidential use of the intended recipient.
