Subject: TSM and HSM


I'm investigating using TSM for Hierarchical Storage Management. I'm in a
shop with Solaris and Windows 2000 file servers. Does anyone reading this
list have experience with Tivoli Storage Manager and HSM?

The only documentation I've found is for Unix clients. Does it even support
Windows file servers? Any general thoughts about the subject are greatly
appreciated. Links would be welcome too.

Curtis,

The newer version of TSM/hsm are supported for AIX. Solaris and HP/UX
clients and the can be managed by any TSM server.  As mentioned earlier
OTG (now a Lagato company) has DiskXtender 2000 which suports NT and
W2K clients.

I hope that's what you are looking for.
