We've been using GPFS-directed HSM for a while now, working quite well (with a few bugs, but they're being worked on).
The 'problem' I'm seeing is the mounting of HSM media (tapes, in particular) during the running of an incremental backup. Since we have the requirement that nothing can be migrated without a backup in place, this just doesn't make sense to me. It's also frustrating that I don't see any type of info on the server after a recall as to the size of the file being recalled, etc. - much like you would see after a backup, restore, archive or retrieve (separate from the issue above). Server and client (BA and HSM) all at 5.5.1.1 (upgrade to 5.5.3.x when I can get downtime in a month or so) on SLES 10. Any ideas? Gretchen Thiele Princeton University
