Prior to acquiring a VTS, we used TMM/DFHSM extensivly. It worked quite well with CA-1, but in our case DR was impossible and required a different solution. With the VTS there was no use for it any longer, but I would expect it should still work, excluding your existing virtual volumes of course. I checked with my coworker who maintained the environment and she didn't recall any issues with it.

Someone else will be looking at the out of service support (either from Sun/STK or from a 3rd party). Does your remark "TMM with HSM, ... probably isn't an alternative.", based on the inability of TMM/HSM to deal with existing virtual tape volumes. Suppose that those existing virtual tapes will age out of significance in the near future. If that were the case, could TMM/HSM support the creation and management of future virtual tapes? Could it do it in a CA-1 environment?
