Ed,

the HSM component of the ADSM client gets
installed only if it is selected for installation,
and VxFS is installed on the Solaris machine.
This is checked by the command
"/usr/sbin/modinfo | grep vxfs".  In addition,
the VxFS version needs to be 3.2.4 or 3.2.5.

I don't understand what you mean by "the result
was the complete removal of all packages from the
system."  Did this happen during the course of the
ADSM client installation?  Some more details would
be helpful.
