AW: possibility of Server group without load balancer?

You don't need a load balancer to use a server group. But you loose the ability to automatically distribute the workload evenly across your arservers and automatic failover from user's POV. Failover of Escalation, DSO etc. will work as this is a feature of the server group. You have to tell the

Re: HELP:SLM Application error

Answer: You can't. SLM can't just be un-installed. That's the bad news. The good news is it can be removed (which is very hard and time consuming) and it can be re-installed. In this particular case I'd contact BMC support and ask for the SLM engineering group's help. William Rentfrow
