Forgive me guys, I don't get it. All HSM does is move data from cheap DASD to expensive tape and back. I doubt it even does much compression on modern DASD or tape. It just shuffles data around. Yes, HSM offers some nice management features, but are they worth the price?
We have about 2 TB over two sites. We look at HSM from time to time, but just don't see a business case. We end up just buying more DASD. Unless, of course, you are a competitor. If so, then by all means do things just because that's the way you have always done things ;-) Our sales people thank you.

This way you can have HSM performing recalls at a higher service class while the daily functions run at a lower service class.
