Being fairly new to ADSM and very new to this list, I hope
these questions aren't out of line.  I've talked to the
support people, the product information people, and have a
call into the pre-sales group, and have made little
progress on the following questions:

1. Does anyone have any idea when the 2Gb filesystem limit
   will be lifted from the HSM client software?  In order to
   plan for future storage set-ups, this information would
   be extremely helpful.
2. Are there any plans for ADSM to support VHS tape
   libraries?  The word from the support folks is that it
   doesn't currently, but it seems like this would be a
   logical type for storage device for a product like ADSM
   to support.
3. What is currently the largest single storage device that
   ADSM supports?  We are using optical jukeboxes (IBM3995/163)
   each with a capacity of about 173Gb.
4. Has anyone done anything with or are there any plans to
   support user-level quotas in the HSM part of ADSM?
   Currently the quotas are on a per-filesystem/per-client
   basis, but we'd like to impose per user (in the unix
   sense of "user") quotas, so Joe can migrate up to 100Gb,
   but John can only migrate up to 1Gb.

Thanks in advance for any information/pointers/comments,
etc.
