Objectives for IBM Director 5.10 Simplification to improve usability (Project Simplify) • New Main Console Interface - move to familiar paradigm (Explorer, Web) • Simpler Wizard interface for setting up monitors and notifications • Reworked Online Documentation • CI-162 Accessibility compliance • Lighter Footprint (Deployment, support for Level 0, 1, 2 systems) Platform Management for eServer • Cross series hardware management – Added management servers for AIX, power Linux and zSeries Linux. Added agent support for zSeries Linux. • Support the industry standard SMI-S (Storage Management Initiative Specification) for discovering and managing storage devices and others like CIM, SNMP, SLP… • Improved Hardware Alerting • z/VM Center Management Extension to manage zSeries Linux virtual machines • HMC Director Extension for pSeries and iSeries (target Q1/2006) Solutions Enablement for both internal and Independent Software Vendor (ISV)/ Independent Hardware Vendor (IHV) • Improved Performance and Usability for Director’s Command Line • Tivoli Upward Integration: Seamless Integration of TEC/Director • MS Operation Manager (MOM) Upward Integration • Enable TEC event action in Director Management Server • Express SDK and Formalized SDK
