Well, given this from "IBMSubCap": "ILMT can only be used to determine the number and types of processor cores for TSM's PVU-base licensing on the managed servers via a manual effort. In other words, ILMT won't "see" the TSM code on the TSM managed server, but if you know the servers that TSM is managing, then you can use ILMT to determine the processor cores.
Also note that the installation of the ILMT agent on client PCs (desktops, laptops that TSM may manage) is not recommended nor supported." If this has a heavy enough footprint to not warrant running on a workstation or desktop, theres no way on earth I'd allow it on any of my servers. All I want is a simple script, blessed by IBM/Tivoli, that can be run non-disruptively and on demand that will return cores/cpus for the system it runs on. Until then, they're entitled to the best swag I can come up with. Tom -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Allen S.

No, because it's dead serious. And the licensing cost for the software can only be calculated by the licensing software. Value Units, you know. I think I heard about this in Oxford. - Allen S.
