Re: Should we be fixing vendor bugs?

2007-09-18 Thread Rick Cook
That's a conundrum that we all have to ponder, Mary. I wish I had a better answer, but here's my $0.02. We generally have to make the changes as we find them, since BMC is months behind on bug fixes, and we don't know how long it might be before they fix what we're finding for them. Sorry you

Scott, I know you're smart enough to know the difficulty in proving a negative. Proving that an event provides a result is a lot easier than showing that it there's no connection, because it's the difference between proving one actual connection path vs. many potential ones - all of which have to

Well, that depends on two things - how powerful that server is, and to what extent you're willing to deal with performance issues on that box when a discovery process is running - FD will basically take over that box during that process. There's a reason BMC recommends that FD be on its own

Norm, I don't know that the value of ITIL is as much in the processes themselves as it is in the goal of the entire company using the SAME processes that work together, vs. the individual silos and multiple tools and processes that many companies have to fight through. So if a company is already
