Re: Housekeeping

Forgive me for butting in here, because I have absolutely no experience
with VIOS or blades or PureFlex or whatever, but a thought keeps creeping
into my head.

We're going backwards.

The IBM i is supposed to be simple to manage. This doesn't sound like it's
making things simpler. Are we going to get to a point where the "Laughing
Boardroom" ads don't apply anymore?

Just my .02.

I won't say that the FSM of PureFlex does everything, but I believe it
IS a graphical interface to managing those boxes - wouldn't it be nice
to get that for other places?

Has anyone used it? Is it much more GUI than, say, HMC?

VIOS is probably linux based. And many of those Linux propeller heads
aren't as open to GUI as IBM i users are. At least that's what IBM told
me when I asked for an enhancement to System i Navigator for Windows
support for semaphores and threads. They rejected the request because
true aficionados of semaphores and threads eschew GUI.
