Let's not forget Shai Hess's MFNetDisk. I don't think it's available anymore. But, I used it extensively from 2010 to 2016.

Yes, you can configure your NAS as NFS (I hope so) and connect z/OS to NFS server. However it has nothing to do with DFSMShsm. 2. Yes, you can send your HSM data outside. But that require additional software like current Model9 or old (maybe still in use?) VTF clone - a software which emulated tapes on DASD. I vaguely remember some (EMC?) product which directed HSM data stream to OSA card and finally some non-mainframe disk array. Note: I'm NOT talking about DLm or former BusTech. It was before EMC acquired BusTech. -- Radoslaw Skorupka Lodz, Poland ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN Confidentiality notice: This e-mail message, including any attachments, may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information.
