[Veritas-ha] MultiNICA & IPMultiNIC

[Jim Senicka]

Have you looked at <drum roll> Global Cluster Manager?
It is designed to manage lots of running clusters.
Not for configuring multiple clusters, but to control where Service
Groups run, and display status of lots of clusters.

Or you can have a higher-level CLI that lets you do policy-based
management (like templated-based service definitions) and some kind CM
for your cluster configs.  Sure helps when you need to manage a lot of
clusters.  GUIs may be good for making one or two changes, but they suck
when you have to go through repetitive operations.  I tend to think that
GUIs are really great for looking at configurations and miserable for
changing them.

Of course it would be nice if the GUI weren't the only client-server
admin tool...
