Interesting you should ask Tom.. I just had a client ask for this yesterday
and I found the same annoucement you did on the ADSM web site.. I put in an
ETR on IBMLINK yesterday afternoon asking if HSM for Solaris 2.6 is
available or not.  It doesn't look like the latest client level on the ADSM
FTP server has the HSM code.  Will let you know if I hear back from IBM
today..

Thanks,
Jeff Connor

Subject:  Solaris HSM?




I'm trying to work out some confusion I have about the
availability of HSM for the Solaris 2.6 ADSM client.

Looking on the web page for downloading the clients
<URL:http://www.storage.ibm.com/software/adsm/adsercli.htm#AF>
the indication for Sun Solaris is that IP21307 includes HSM.
After downloading the files, however, one of the
"Known Problems/Limitations" listed in IP21307.README is:

   o Currently ADSM for Solaris doesn't support any HSM functionality.

Presumably the web site, then, is incorrect in suggesting that
HSM functionality is available in the latest Solaris client? The
announced availability for this was May 29. If it's not
available six weeks later is there an updated availability
schedule?

Thanks.
