Webshell allows ADSM administration from any Web Browser such as
     netscape, with the proper authorization of course.

     Check out IBM's ADSM page:
     http://www.storage.ibm.com/storage/software/adsm/adsmhome.htm

     You can also check out a live demo of Webshell:
     http://www.storage.ibm.com/storage/software/adsm/adwsdemo.htm

     It would be a perfect solution to our problem of doing remote ADSM
     administration, without using the command line interface.

     Judging from the List, it doesn't look like too many people have heard
     about it.

     What exactly is the "WebShell" ?
     What will it do form me or any of my ADSM clients...?
     I haven't heard anything... is it just a GUI client ?
     ... or does it go further than that....?
     later

     Is anybody out there using the webshell product for ADSM.  I
     downloaded it, and installed it 2 of my "clients" for testing.  It
     would be a great advantage for me to use this if we could get it to
     work.

     My clients are Lotus Notes servers running on OS/2 Warp.  I have 3
     disk drives. C, D, and E.  I only backup files from the E:\NOTESDB\
     directory.  I have C and D labeled at the OS level as OS/2, and I
     don't have E labeled at all at the OS level.

     When I use webshell to look at my client node.  I don't get any
     information for disk E.  I supply the exact directory that is being
     backed up...which is E:\notesdb\ and it will show me the filestore for
     that, but it doesn't automatically show up when I go to the URL:
     http://server.host:2121/webshell/

     I only get

     disk label file system last incremental backup
     c:   os/2  hpfs        _________________
     d:   os/2  hpfs        _________________
     e:   e     hpfs        _________________
     Specify other disk _____________________

     I thought there may be one of 2 problems.  I didn't backup anything in
     the root of e: only in the sub-dir e:\notesdb, or it's because I don't
     have a disk label for the e: disk.

     anybody have any thoughts.
     anybody else using webshell?
