The text below leads me to think that RSM itself is to be used on the NT
platform to manage a HSM client/program. I don't want to be in a situation
where i have to define a new storage management system to handle HSM
functions using RSM.  Ideally i would like something to sit between my OS390
ADSM server and my NT client and handle the HSM functions. Ultimately i want
to utilise my ADSM server and mainframe tape technology to handle the HSM
functions on different platforms.
Does anybody out there use Seagate Storage Migrator?.

Thanks,

Kuli.
