We made it throught the ILMT install, but are not in production yet with
it.

The actual install wasn't that difficult, but the instructions leave much
to be desired - a lot of words with little info.

For example, it installs DB2 for it's db.  Ok . . .  I assume it has some
built in backup system.  Then I read a little comment that for backups
refer to the DB2 documentation, and a link to the DB2 infocenter.  We're an
Oracle shop . . .no one here knows DB2.  No help, no cheat sheet, no built
in backup scripts - just go read the db2 manuals!  One of my tasks now is
to become a DB2 dba . . . what fun!  (probably a good thing for our
eventual migration to TSM v6)

Another example . . .it's reporting the wrong units for a certain AIX
model.  You show the support guy the actual web page where the units for
the server are listed, but you get nowhere.

There's ITLM, IBM Tivoli License Manager.
It's kind of bear to install, I hear.
(Has anybody done it?)

But nobody else has a fully automated solution AFAIK.

Contact me off-line and I can give you some other options.
