IMHO, if IBM is going to require specific features of a specific browser to run their product (and AFAIK, FF 3.6 is the ONLY browser that works properly with the Admin Center), then IBM should package it with the product and support it.
The current situation is wholly unacceptable, because customers standardize on particular browser versions for security patches, because the desktops are supported by a different group than the storage admins, for sanity sake, etc. W -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Howard Coles Sent: Friday, November 11, 2011 2:57 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] Firefox users with TSM 6.2 Admin Center That's actually not as ridiculous as you think, well, actually it's not at all. Some apps used a version of HTML/java/whatever, that just would not work with newer versions of IE, Netscape, or Firefox. IBM's Shark Storage was one, we had to keep an older version of netscape around along with an older version of java, just to be able to manage it until we migrated off. There have been other apps that had the same problem.

I did the dumb thing and installed the latest Firefox 8 this morning when prompted. I got logged into the 6.2 Admin Center, but couldn't open any servers for management. Got a "500 error" on the screens. An uninstall and reload of V 3.6.13 was the solution. ------------------------------------------------ Harold Vandeventer DISCLAIMER: This communication, along with any documents, files or attachments, is intended only for the use of the addressee and may contain legally privileged and confidential information.
