Actually, if you position it as "this is the partitioning manager you need to deliver new instances", the Unix guys rarely blink at that. They'll have to learn a partition manager for any system like this, and if you explain it this way, they don't panic as much. Compare it to the Sun partition manager for the E10K/E15K. That isn't Solaris admin, either -- it's a new utility with some pretty ugly consequences if you misuse it. That gets their attention and puts it in their terms. -- db
