Hi List,
Someone is using Hierarchical Storage Management (http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/hsmcomp/)
What can you tell me about this product? It's really an "upgrade" to BRMS?

We've been looking for that person... ;-) HSM has been part of the ADSM/TSM product for many years, now. It used to be called HSM: it's latest name is TSM for Space Management. See http://www.ibm.com/software/tivoli/products/storage-mgr-space/ for the actual TSM product info, rather than the cited web page. It works via a kernel extension, to intercept accesses to the controlled file system. See the List archives for past observations on the product. I also have some notes on it in ADSM QuickFacts.
