Subject: Netview for AIX v6
Questions about the imminent release of Netview 6.0
Will it support AIX v4.33 or higher?
>> Yes
What time frame is expected release?
>> GA is Feb 27
Are there limitations on RS6000 CPU or bus? Compatible with an R24? An R40? An
F50?
>> NO. But a better box gets you better performance
Where can we get the media most quickly?
>> You must order it. You can do so now from your local Tivoli marketing rep
or swdist@tivoli.com
What are the new capabilities?
>> Sorry. Too numerous to mention. But three come to mind: (a) universal web
client, completely rewritten, usable for both UNIX and NT, and can be run on the
server as a Java app if you prefer. (b) Submap Explorer from NT ported to UNIX
(also Java app) (c) Location sensitive topology -- the ability to specify in
advance that you want the network partitioned into location containers to better
manage the map. There are lots of small improvements -- more ifTypes supported,
better handling of HSRP.
What are the new web browser accessible functions and features?
>> See above. We no longer use the Apache server and the new client is much
more robust and stable.
I have heard over the last 6 months the release date is scheduled for March 1st,
2000.
>> See above
Is this correct? Is there a website or list with more information?
>> I have no idea what is on www.tivoli.com. I don't follow marketing doc.
Sorry, But you can always look
Is Framework still mandatory? Which versions?
Thanks!
