Is it possible to use more than one host to manage a group of OSF/1 systems ? I'm thinking of catching the console messages of the same machines on 2 different stations and search on each of them for different strings... This could be useful for selectively managing a large number of systems which generate a large number of console messages. Any ideas ? Thanks in advance, Adrian

Adrian, not really sure why you want to do this. If you think that the machine you are using cannot cope with the load cut down the number of connections on each machine rather than having two connections to a single one. The problems I can see is the RS232 connection would have to split to two terminal servers. Probably will work, but maty get noise. Twice as many servers needed. Twice as many PCM licenses ( i.e. two for each managed system). Write access is only synchronised on a single system so both connections could try to type at the same time. Only advantage I can see is two access point to the same console ( but with the above caveat). As we are looking at what we could do in the future what sort of thing would you like to see??
