Way back in the days of SLED and early implementation of SMS, we had our catalogs in SMS. We lost an HDA and went through the SMS/HSM recover. It was a painful and error ridden experience. It took me a good week of manual clean-up to fix as best I could. I moved the catalogs to non-SMS as quickly as possible and I'm unlikely to ever consider SMS/HSM managed catalogs again.
