HP Hierarchical Storage Management for OpenVMS, Version 4.3

HP Hierarchical Storage Management SPD 46.38.24
for OpenVMS Version 4.3
The selection criteria include definitions that determine
the appropriate files to be shelved in response to the
need for shelving. Examples of selection criteria in-
clude:
• Least recently used and size combination
• Least recently used
• According to a user-defined script
HSM for OpenVMS qualifies file access to shelved files
on client systems where access is through DFS, NFS,
or PATHWORKS.
Qualified Devices
The following libraries and loaders have been tested
by Storage Management Software Engineering. How-
ever, Storage Management Software Engineering does
not test each of the devices with every possible com-
bination of controllers and host systems. Because the
HSM product and the Media Robot Utility (MRU) run in
common environments, these combinations are tested
first with MRU. Upon successful completion of the MRU
tests, HSM is then tested in representative configura-
tions. Note that MRU is not a prerequisite for HSM.
Therefore, to determine if your specific configuration is
supported, follow these steps:
1. If you have a tape drive that is not software-defined
as a jukebox (is not a library or a loader device),
reference the OpenVMS Software Product Descrip-
tion (SPD 25.01.xx) to determine if your tape drive
is qualified for your platform and controller/adapter
combination.
2. If your device is software-defined as a jukebox (it is a
library or loader device), first check the following list
to determine if it is supported by the media manager.
If the device is listed, see the following instructions:
a. Check the OpenVMS Software Product Descrip-
tion (SPD 25.01.xx) to make sure the tape drive(s)
in your library/loader are supported for your plat-
form and controller/adapter combination.
b. Check the MRU Software Product Description
(SPD 64.44.xx) to make sure your library/loader is
listed by MRU for your specific controller/adapter
combination.
3. Assuming your device is correctly connected and
configured, it is supported by the common media
manager.
If you have devices that are not shown on the list,
they may still be qualified. HP continually tests its soft-
ware on additional devices that may have been released
since the last publication of this SPD.
If you have a question about a particular device, contact
customer support.
