It can be done, but I am also on a site which has an ISM/HACMP issue. Apparently, ism uses a "gethostbyname" call, but depending on your HACMP configuration, the host will have a different name depending on its state. So you need to reconfigure HACMP. > Another question is:- > If we can't use ism does anybody know if any of the > other storage > managers are compatible with HACMP? TSM (Tivoli) will work.
