Uriel, So what time frame are you looking to decommission your mainframe. Any solution you choose to get data from HSM to the server for storage will take time. Yes SAS and ISPF (WS Client) could probably do what you want. Implementing HSM exits to place data in Unix/HFS files is also possible. Your question was reading HSM data in a server environment. So if you could provide more details on what your requirements are, we can come up with other solutions. Information that would be helpful are 1) Time frame to move data to server? 2) Efforts involved? Do you have a large staff, small staff? Do you have time to write exits for HSM and redirect the HSM data? 3) Is the 40 TB all of the data or is the information you need to place on the server a smaller number? 4) Will you have a dedicated server for your mainframe storage?
