Hi Deb,
Thanks as usual for the quick response. However, is this really the same issue as multiple admins? I am assuming that two administrators that makes separate changes via the GUI would only have problems if they make changes that conflict (e.g. change the default pool of the same virtual sever) and the last change wins. Coordination in this case is relatively simple.
However, in this case the problem is one of unintended side effect where if program A using iControl makes a change that is not intended to be permanent but the change is inadvedently made permanent by program B using iControl which needs to make a completely separate change permanent. It is unclear how both programs could coordinate so that both programs get the desirable behavior, other than progam B temporarily "undo" program A's changes, save program B's changes, then then put back progam A's changes.
