Hi Craig,

it exists a possibility to have HSM over NAS. NetApp has a file policy ( 
Fpolicy) integration which allows from proxy windows to do a HSM of nas files. 

Regards,

Fran

Since HSM requires a passthrough driver on the filesystem for TSM,
it's unlikely you're going to get a regular sort of HSM functionality,
unless I'm missing something. You'd need to be installing TSM code
inside the NAS...

Having said that, it is not impossible to put TPC on a server, point
that at the NAS and use it to drive policies which can remove files
(TPC can archive items automatically to TSM based on policy). It may
be possible to do this and leave the retrieve command for those files
behind as some sort of batch file- I've seen this done in the past.
You could also get into policy driven chargeback for space used on a
user or group basis.

That's probably as close as you will get to HSM, unless I'm missing something.
