The relationship between DLIB and target zones is 1-many - I am not actually asking for SMP/E advice, but am interested in what you guys find are best practices regarding promotion (we do have to run the apply process once for each environment).

I know the practice has been discussed here, but it appears that SMP/E expects a 1-1 correspondence. For example, when you say "run the apply/accept 3 times (once for each zone)," do you mean, rather, "each target/DLIB zone pair"? If a single DLIB zone, which of the several target zones does it identify in the ACCEPT? (I know that a single GLOBAL zone can suffice for several target/DLIB zones.) -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN This e-mail, including attachments, is intended for the person(s) or company named and may contain confidential and/or legally privileged information.
