As far as HSM and RMM "talking" to each other, there is this, from the RMM 
Implementation and Customization Guide, I think for version 1.13: 

You can use the TVEXTPURGE parmlib option in the DFSMSrmm EDGRMMxx  parmlib 
member to control the action DFSMSrmm takes when DFSMShsm calls EDGTVEXT. A 
benefit of this interaction is that DFSMSrmm can prevent DFSMShsm from 
overwriting its own control data set backup, automatic dump, ABARS, and copies 
of backup or migration tapes. Although DFSMShsm checks its own migration and 
its own backup tapes, DFSMSrmm checks them as well.

Subject: Re: DFHSM CDS backup versions

All,
Thanks for the hep so far.   Please bear in mind that I "inherited" this site 
from another contractor, and have no documentation about what was done or why.  
He set this up.

I also have no prior experience with RMM.

Try changing the "count" in the VRS to  a "more reasonable (FSVO reasonable) 
value.  
e.g. 10 and see if the tapes release.
</snip>

I'll try that, thanks.

HSM and RMM are independent products.  Some shops use RMM with FDR instead of 
HSM.  Others use HSM with CA-1 instead of RMM.  The two products will not talk 
to each other unless you tell them to.
</snip>

I can't find anything in the RMM or HSM manuals that tells me how to make them 
"talk" to each other.  HSM is definitely releasing migration and backup tapes, 
just not CDS backup tapes.  

RMM talks about defining HSM to RACF, and setting RMM & HSM options (which as 
far as I can tell has all been done).  The only inconsistency I can see is that 
the RMM manual says to code SETSYS TAPESECURITY(EXPIRATION), and we have SETSYS 
TAPESECURITY(RACF).

If you can point me at the relevant part of the manual, I'll happily read it!
