I agree with everything you said. And we have gotten most of management to see the light - just few still in the dark. We do a lot more dynamic stuff now then when I started here just a few years ago. There is a member of the storage team that comes in at 6 as his regular time, he will do the set commands. I don't understand why they think that is a better time than 2 PM, but they do and it isn't worth fighting over. For some reason they seem more afraid of SMS changes then other changes. I am not part of the storage team so I don't loose sleep over it. For this change, because I really want to see us with a lot less storage groups, I will volunteer to do it for the 2 guys that make up the storage team - if that is what it takes! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
