Re: HSM-Software

Hi Christoph

I guess what you are looking for is setting up a standalone UNIX server, 
with locally attached tape and HSM client.

In this scenario, the following would be required:

- Tivoli Storage Manager server, backup/archive client and HSM client. You 
will need to have a TSM server installed on your HSM clientr, if you want 
the library to be attached locally to the HSM client, as the server 
version of TSM is the only software that can be a repository for data.
- A locally attached tapelibrary. My suggestions is looking at IBM MagStar 
MP libraries, which today are were cheap, or STK 9840 compatible 
libraries. This is because you want a short mount time, and a short time 
to data, which both theese techniques can supply.

My suggestion is that you split the TSM server from the HSM server. When 
doing HSM migration, you dont want to have the migrated data from the HSM 
client attached locally, in case of a disaster. Perhaps you already have a 
TSM server, which you can use. In this case, administration and monitoring 
will be quite easier if you use your existing TSM platform.

Hi all,

my customers want to set up a HSM-System.
The server should run a small library and should be the only client of 
that
system. It should be a unix-server.
What software-modules ( from TSM ) do I need to make this server/client 
run
?

Thanks for help
Chris
