EMC has been planning on NMM replacing the old client.

So will then all the cleints in the datazone need to be on the admins lists?

That would be the same as addin *@* on the admin list.

Can someone from PM please explain that it is not an issue that NMM and
Oracle clients need to be admins on the datazone?

Unfortunatelly, I don't think they can.
