Mark,
IMHO, ADSM was/is working as designed. If an HP-UX system loses a
filesystem due to a disk failure, it is the sys admin's job to have
monitors in place to detect and prevent extended loss/outage. I know
this since one of my other roles besides ADSM geek, is sys admin for an
IBM SP2 with about 1TB of data. Believe me, when we lose a disk on that
machine, I know about it long before any backup process happens, i.e.,
the backup process will not tell me I have a hardware problem.
ADSM's job is to backup client machines, not perform SA duties.
