Thanks. I guess I should've checked the version first.. we're on OVM
2.2.0 :( It seems that the .config file that people talk about does not
exist.. The management console lives in a stand-alone OC4J installation.
What are the chances to install a current management console and attach
the old OMV pool?
Cheers,
Tony
