Kees, Thanks for the update on DMS, We had DMS during the 3850 time and DMS spent quite a bit of time add 3850 code. I was a so-so fan of it for a while and then we decided to drop it which was a major blow to our storage manager. IIRC it got too expensive. It had/has a LOT of good features, it just takes a bit of time hunting around in the manuals to find some information, although once you are reasonably proficient you mostly don’t need the manuals. Sorry about the misdirect on ADRDSSU like I said though its been a while.
