Hello all,
I'm new to the list, as I just found out about it yesterday at the EMC
Technology summit. You don't know how frustrating it was to hear
about
this, as I've been a Legato user since 1998 (version 4). Many a
times I
wish I could have talked to other Networker users.
As for the conference, Legato did not bring a huge presence to the
conference, but at least it's a start.
I'm going to a birds of a feather meeting on Thursday morning, and
just
wanted to know if anyone had questions. We will be meeting with
one of
the product managers of Legato - his main area of responsibility is
product usability. They announced that in fall/winter of 2005,
they will
be releasing a basic version of NMC (networker management console)
to all
users, with a more advanced version (with additional reporting
capability)
at an additional cost.
If you have any questions you would like me to direct to him,
please let
me know. ALso, if you have any comments/concerns about USING the
product
(such as too many GUI's / GUI's not the same across OS), please let me
know.
Welcome to the Networker list. I manage this list (with some help
when I go away). A tech support engineer introduced me to this list.
A few months after I first subscribed to the Networker list, I
volunteered to run it when its founder had to divest himself of his
involvement with this list.
Thanks for offering to relay questions for us. I do have some
questions for you to raise at the EMC Technology Summit. Being a Unix
and Mac OS X advocate, I avoid using Windows as much as possible.
That being said, the NetWorker Administration GUI for Windows is far
better then its nwadmin counterpart on Unix. What I would like to
know is if the features of the Windows administrator GUI will be
brought over to the Unix version or, even better, if a common
platform independent Java based NetWorker management GUI is in the
pipeline. One of the features I really like on the Windows NetWorker
Administration tool is the ability to click on a group resource entry
and see which clients are assigned to it. I also like the feature
where the view options are retained each time the GUI is started.
In addition, I am also curious if the Mac OS X NetWorker version will
be "GUIfied" and NetWorker server capability added to the Mac.
Speaking of Mac OS X. Will Legato/EMC certify NetWorker to work with
Apple's latest Mac OS X version, Tiger? I tried backing up and
recoverying about 50GB worth of data to the Mac G5 I use in my office
after I upgraded it to Tiger. It did work, although the recover
utility hung after the list bit of data was received and it displayed
a broken pipe error after about five minutes.
Thanks,
Stan
