Yes, but DiskXtender 2000 is an HSM *server* that will feed to TSM; it is
not an HSM client under TSM's control. I also have a hard time telling
customers that they should buy TSM instead of Legato's backup product, and
then turn around and recommend another Legato storage product.

I find DX's configuration to be overly complex and confusing, and it is
possible to get into a corner where you *can't* uninstall everything off
it.[1]
