Hi Lisette. In response to your questions: 1) Time frame to move data to server? I have from now until early 2014. 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? Once I have an idea of the size, then we will see how much we can do ourselves and how much help we will need. 3) Is the 40 TB all of the data or is the information you need to place on the server a smaller number? My HSM data is about 40 TB (between disk and tape). 4) Will you have a dedicated server for your mainframe storage? Yes, a Linux server.
