2002-05-26 Thread Don France
Nicely put, Gianluca! I agree that LTO is (nearly) a no-brainer here. The part about using HSM or not -- depends on your customer's perspective (and wallet). I've been working with a couple clients who have similar (or worse!) retention needs for some of their data; we've about resolved to

BUT WAIT... have you not seen 4.2.2 and 5.1.x -- both have broken summary table info, specifically the BYTES column is (mostly, not always) ZERO! I am still researching the other columns, they may be FUBAR'ed also; I am told there is an APAR open for this -- IC33455 -- anyone know when it will
