Sure. If you can logon to the system, VM:Operator can have a console there. The OPERATOR id can be anywhere. Authorized users can be defined to logon and run VMYIAMOP to get a copy of the console. The definition of the user within VM:Operator says what screens the user can see and what commands if any they can execute.

What products are available that would allow the operations of these systems to be handled from a single location, if such exist? For example, can VM:Operator be used across a span of 2000 miles in the continental US? Between the US and Japan? Are there other products that can do the job? Regards, Richard Schuh
