I think the HSM has to run on a 'gpfs server' node for the DMAPI agent (mmlsfs -z option) to work properly, but I'm not 100% sure about this nor have I tested it. Simple enough to do, I guess.
We run TSM on a server nodes, but those nodes are not an NSD nodes, just CNFS nodes (but they still have the server license). We found that TSM backs up significantly faster from non-nsd nodes. There isn't much to the HSM as far as components. Just the rpms/debs. Mostly it's a setup issue with the DMAPI on the servers, the config files for the HSM and TSM. If the HSM works fine from a client node, the servers would still have to have DMAPI enabled. (mmchfs -z yes) I see to recall one of the two products having a guide that talks about this setup and what lives where. But that could be from when we were testing LTFS-EE. After a while with all the same components they mix together.

Hi, Jon and Bryan, Thanks for your reply. So if I have the following hosts now, (All of them are RHEL6) GPFS cluster with two gpfs servers: hostname: gpfs01 hostname: gpfs02 Note: This GPFS cluster provides a file system: /gpfs/slac/a/b/ TSM server: hotsname: tsmServer HSM host: hostname: hsmA Host hsmA is a TSM client to tsmServer, Also Host hsmA is a GPFS client to gpfs01/gpfs02 and has access to /gpfs/slac/a/b/ file system The goal now is to migrate files in /gpfs/slac/a/b/ to TSM via the gpfs client hsmA What HSM components should be installed on host hsmA? What HSM components should be installed on host gpfs01/gpfs02? (We hope none) Thanks.
