DFHSM works with DFSMS but it is not the same thing nor packaged with
it. It is a separately-orderable product (actually called DFSMShsm).
It is the same way with what used to be called DFDSS (now DFSMSdss) and
RMM tape management.
To clarify:
DFSMSdfp is free (included in z/OS price)
DFSMSdss is extra paid
DFSMShsm is extra paid
DFSMSrmm is extra paid
DFSMStvs is extra paid
Note HSM requires DSS as a prerequisite. I fyou already use DSS, then
your fee for HSM will be less.
Also note that none of the products require real installation, the only
thing to do is to pay the fee and put ENABLED in IFAPRDxx. It is also
possible to enable it and not pay, but it is piracy.
BTW: AFAIK the reason why some product are not included in base fee is
existing competition. It is *not like* M$ did with Internet Explorer.
You pay for RACF, because you can choose ACF2, you pay for HSM, because
you can prefer CA-DISK, DFSORT is extra paid, because there is Syncsort,
etc. In fact I don't remain any optional (paid) feature not having
competition replacement
