3885.0. "DECmcc/DCM Integration" by SIOG::TINNELLY (Consultancy for fee NOT free..) Fri Oct 09 1992 15:09

    
    Hello Folks,
    
    We have just sold DECmcc to Dupont to manage their network, and they
    are also in the process of implementing DCM to manage the systems etc.
    
    Some of their people in the USA are requesting info regarding the
    integration of DCM and DECmcc. They are looking for info regarding the
    correct strategy and how best to achieve an effective integrated
    systems/network management system. Any reading material etc, I 
    could post to them gratefully accepted.
    
    I am sure we have integrated DCM and DECmcc at lots of sites, I would
    be interested in any info or feedback, tools etc, on how best to achieve
    this. This is a consultancy opportunity.
    
    
    many thanks Peter.

3885.1	"Official" reply	RACER::dave	Ahh, but fortunately, I have the key to escape reality.	`Fri Oct 09 1992 22:17`	6
	The Official, and somewhat short/not helpfull reply is that NIS is supposed to provide that information to the field. We get beat up from time to time for not "making" the "field" be self-sufficient. At some point, your request should land on the desk of Steve Lane, US NIS Consultant, and be worked on. He did stop by just today and ask that any request of this type be passed on to him.

3885.3	One step at a time..	SIOG::TINNELLY	Consultancy for fee NOT free..	`Mon Oct 19 1992 14:46`	9
	Many thanks for the responses, I think we have managed to convince Dupont, that for now they should concentrate on implementing DCM and DECmcc as two seperate projects. Once they become familiar with both and even reach Guru level, then they can move onto integrating both DCM and DECmcc. From what I understand there is no difficulty in doing this. Regards Peter.
