Re: AS/400, Microsoft SMS & Tivoli IT Director

James,

Why not use the Tivoli "enterprise" products that are almost identical to
what you use with IT Director?  You are already familiar with Tivoli and
the time for re-training will be a whole lot less.  And, I bet Tivoli will
minimize the impact ($) of the change.

We are looking to replace Tivoli IT Director with a new product (since
Tivoli have withdrawn IT Director) and are examining our options.  Does
anyone have any recommendations for a product that has similar
functionaility and offers the scope to be able to manage/monitor NT,
AS/400, Netware, routers, SNMP etc?  One of the potential options is SMS
but we are largely unfamiliar with the product.  As as result I have some
questions that I hope somebody may be able to answer.

Does anyone use SMS in an AS/400 and NT environment?  Does anyone know what
SMS can get from an AS/400?  What sort of SNMP trapping can it monitor or
is it just Node Up/Node Down?
