Howdy folks,

I recently received IBM's International Storage Systems Symposium flyer.
 In it, there is mention in the ADSM track a product: ADSM Manager: A new
solution for automating ADSM Administration.  Anybody heard of this or know
what it is?
Thanks,

Kelly Lipp

Kelly,

I am a fellow ADSM administrator, a long time ADSM-L subscriber and the
product architect for ADSM Manager.   ADSM Manager evolved from a set of
tools that I developed (in self defense) to manage and monitor the large
ADSM environments in which I have worked.  I have included the short
"marketing" description of the product below:

ADSM Manager, from Mainstar, provides additional functionality to the base
ADSM product;  functionality that you need to effectively manage your ADSM
environment. ADSM Manager provides functionality that automates many of the
tasks that previously required manual intervention; enabling you to better
manage your ADSM installation.

ADSM Manager includes the following benefits:

* Provides a central source for all of your enterprise's ADSM information
* Automates the monitoring of ADSM server and client activities and events
* Simplifies the management of ADSM servers and clients
* Automates the exception notification process
* Provides reporting capabilities not previously available

ADSM Manager - designed specifically for ADSM Administrators . . . by ADSM
Administrators

I am forwarding a "Features and Functions Overview" on a separate note.  I
will also be happy to send this information to anyone else who is
interested.  Please send an email to me at Dan.Crouse AT mainstar DOT com to
request this information.
