I am curious....with all the talk about the difficulty in using VIOS
because of the command line interface (which I agree with), I am
wondering why the IVM isn't used more. There is a Redpiece on it found
here:
http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/redp4061.html. I use the
IVM for creating, maintaining and removing the multiple LPAR's I have on
my JS12 blade and it is very easy to use and I haven't found it wanting
when it came to configuration options. I haven't used a system that had
an HMC for quite a while but the Redpiece says this: "IVM is a
simplified hardware management solution that inherits most of the
Hardware Management Console (HMC) features."
As a web UI, it is pretty good. Is the *most* qualifier on the HMC
features the issue? Are there many HMC or VIOS functions that you find
missing in the IVM? Is it limited to Blade implementations?
I am not afraid of a *NIX command line but I AM lazy. If I can do it
through the IVM and avoid the command line I will. I am just curious as
to why it isn't used/referred to more often.
