Forgot to add to the previous append...
The Tivoli Support Technical Exchange (STE) organization has a webcast
on the newer snmp data collector mechanism that was introduced with
NetView 7.1.5. The webcast is tomorrow (Tuesday). Details from :

As the leader of the NetView Tivoli User Group I am currently actively
soliciting suggestions for webcasts for the group. One suggestion
that I have had from 2 folk is a comparison of NetView and ITNM. I
would appreciate input from this list if that would be of interest.
If you are signed up to the TUG, no need to respond here also. If you
want to join the TUG, please feel free to do so (you can access the
TUG home page at www.tivoli-ug.org and then select a group to join).
If you don't want to join the TUG - that's fine - I'd still appreciate
input on webcasts you would like to see around NetView.
I have used both products though ITNM not nearly so much as NetView
and I would totally agree with the comments by both John and Andres.
NetView, especially on an AIX / Linux platform is rock solid - less so
on Windows. ITNM is a huge product. Development has done a lot of
work on the Entry version to ease installation of what is effectively
3 different products (the old Precision IP, Omnibus and Webtop) but it
is still much harder to install and get working. If you look, for
example, at Tivoli education for Precision, the pre-reqs are a 5-day
class on Omnibus and, I believe, another 2 days on Webtop - that's
before you start on the "network management" education. The layer 2
support is there out-of-the box with ITNM; with NetView you had to add
on (and pay for) the Switch Analyzer product. The other argument I
have heard several times against ITNM is the cost.
John - you say you are migrating to a non-IBM product even though you
seem to be a happy NetView user. Did you evaluate ITNM? May we know
what you decided to migrate to?

Hi List,
Has anyone used both of these products (NV & ITNM) in a produciton
enviornemnt? Is ITNM better than Netview, feature wise, (excluding
the looks n feels). I have seen ITNM but never used it in production.
Any input is appreciated!

Usman
