Hello to all.

I want to expound a question in the one which I suppose that they are 
interested many people of this Forum.
Does any product exist that do it be composed with ADSM and that do it 
contribute the HSM functionality?
IBM recommends utilize OPEN/ STOR. We don't know it, they only have made us a 
presentation, and we have also revised the red book that bill like they are 
composed in environment Novell AVAIL/ HSM and ADSM. 
it seem us that it is not an as resolved solution as the one which contributes 
ADSM in AIX environment. 

We have found the following problems:

ln Intel environment, we have seen that IBM suggest the utilization of OPEN/ 
STOR, but we have met with the distributor in Spain, and we have found several 
deficiencies. 

OPEN/ STOR needs an appropriate server in order to make the Administration of 
HSM 

It is difficult to synchronize the data saved of the server OPEN/ STOR and his 
clients with ADSM. 

Like OPEN/ STOR utilizes a file (similar to a Storage Pool), in order to keep 
the administered files, ADSM should save this whole file, not only the files 
that have changed (like the incremental backup). 

When you recover a file that has been migrate with OPEN/ STOR, modify and  save 
again, not reutilize  the space of the file migrate, and the product doesn't 
provide of the functionality of recovering the space that no longer  is been 
worth (reclamation). This carries us to a limitless growth of the space (disk 
or cardtridge) utilized by OPEN/ STOR.  


Is there somebody that this utilizing OPEN/ STOR with ADSM?

Could you inform me like do it operate?

You know any product that contributes the HSM functionality in different 
environments of AIX, Novell, Windows-NT, Windows-NT on Digital Alpha, etc.?
 
Thank you for yours attention. A greeting
