Re: twinax and Ops Nav

Actually, this I can understand.  Back when we were setting up new iSeries 
right and left I could send a tape to a remote site and say run this and 
the machine would be all configured.  I suppose you can work around it 
with api's, which is what I guess that the bloke who wrote the green 
screen tools did.  (And I knew some glassy eyed IBMer's who were quite 
quick with the hex codes on calling the api's from the command line versus 
using Op's Nav in it's infancy, when I went up to Rochester.)
And I'll admit, I use CFGDOMSVR instead of the GUI method to configure a 
Domino server.  But the first time I did it I had an IBMer who was 
familiar with Unix helping me to set up Domino and while I'd be willing to 
bet they didn't have CFGDOMSVR, she was more familiar with a command line 
interface.  I like the job logging of that.

I don't know why setting up netserver via gui is so nerve rattling though.

To me the point is not which of them you use in a hands-on configuration 
session - that's a matter of individual taste.

I would like to see CL commands in place for all system configuration 
functions because this would allow easy automation (not to mention 
permitting the sending of a totally clear, cut-and-pastable, configuration 

instruction to someone else in an email). Ops Nav assumes you have a 
skilled human being sitting there operating it, or at least that you 
provide a complicated set of instructions about which button to hit when.

(But setting up NetServer from Ops Nav is the one that really gets me 
down!)
