We too have been very patiently waiting for an announcement regarding
AIX 4.2/HSM support as we have made a very large investment in the
product to the tune of more than 1TB of space-managed data.
We are upgrading our ADSM server to AIX 4.2 next week (an R40) and would
very much like to be able to upgrade the fileserver containing the 1TB
of space-managed data from 4.1.5 to 4.2 as well ...
We have tried asking IBM via several routes as to the availability of
HSM on AIX 4.2 and as yet have not had an answer from anyone. Please,
can this be addressed by someone in IBM now?
Thanks. Regards, Sheelagh
