Thanks for the link, Andy. Most interesting.

I'm sure the developers are working to what they feel are the
significant customer requirements, but --

Does anyone beside me think there's something a little off here?

512 MB for the Administration Center
89 MB for the Tivoli Storage Manager server (32 + 32 + 25)
256 MB for the operating system
------------------------------
857 MB Total

See the Installation Guide for detailed requirements.

(from the FAQ)

89 MB to do the work -- and 512 MB to administer? (Yeah, I'm a dinosaur
from the punched card days; maybe it's just as well that retirement is
just a few years away <grin>

We've attempted to provide information on the IBM web site regarding ISC
and the Admin Center that you can view. Go to http://www.ibm.com and
search on TSMADMINCENTER. You will get several documents, including a
FAQ
that should help answer questions.

Regarding XP: In theory, with sufficient hardware resources, the ISC
should work, at least in a limited fashion. However, XP is not a
formally
supported platform for the TSM admin center, so you use it there "as
is".

Anyone having problems with the ISC or TSM Admin Center should review
the
online information I suggested above, and contact IBM support for
further
assistance if necessary.

Regards,

Andy

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
"Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.
