IBM HSM products have always supported unprivileged, user triggered recall of any file. I am not familiar with any particular GUI, but from the CLI, it's easy enough:
dd if=/pathtothefileyouwantrecalled of=/dev/null bs=1M count=2 & # pulling the first few blocks will trigger a complete recall if the file happens to be on HSM We also had IBM HSM for mainframe MVS, years and years ago, which is now called DFHSM for z/OS. (I remember using this from TSO...) If the file has been migrated to a tape archive, accessing the file will trigger a tape mount which can take a while, depending on how fast your tape mounting (robot?), operates and what other requests may be queued ahead of yours....!
