Hello all,

Using ADSM version 3 is there a way to "manage" multiple servers from a
centralized point (one server)??

I have a REAL HOT need to manage all ADSM servers from a centralized
location (enterprise wide management).  I know about server to server
communication but does it also deal with the actual management of separate
servers.  Here are a couple of examples:

1) Modify copy group(s) from one location on multiple servers, etc......
2) Kick off restore if I have file "abc" and I do not know what server it
was backed up "with".

Those are just a couple of questions I am being asked because ADSM is sold
as an enterprise wide solution with the release of version 3.  If each
server must be managed individually then this, to me, is not an enterprise
solution.  We need to be able to manage (administrate) each adsm server
from a centralized location because we will be incorporating many servers
(different areas of business and locations).  So managing each server
individually, to us, would make adsm a bad choice if it does not allow
centralized management.


Does version 3 do this???  Please advise.

Sean :-)
