A question please: Is there something in HSM and SMS (management class) you're missing to determine the placement of datasets? We generally use age, backup requirements and frequency of usage to determine where datasets are placed on disk and 'tape' (actually VTS cartridges). What are your goals to determine what media do you want to use? Do you have a 'Tape management system'? Disclaimer - I never used Tapewise at all. I have used Tape mount monitor years ago while being a storage admin, but discarded/dropped it eventually.
