Yes, that's what he mean. We do this since some years, even IBM has this concept which is called TMM. We created a large DASD pool, changed the ACS routines to point the UNIT=CART to this pool (no JCL change necessary) and let HSM migrate to cartridge. However there are still some very big files going out directly to cartridge, because migrating/recalling them would take too much time. Using this TMM concept saved us to get extra software for tape stacking, however HSM CPU usage is going up. Werner Kuehnel
