Q:
Is there an HSM (Hierarchical Storage Management) solution for SLES? I'm using Caminosoft on NetWare, and am looking for something with similar functionality on SLES.

A:
If you are looking for a really powerful and fully integrated Open Source Solution that lacks graphical admin tools, then XFS is what you're looking for.

All necessary software (XFS; dmapi) is included in SLES 9, except the "driver" for the EMC? or any other storage behind. Nevertheless, the EMC?-part (for a centera, IRRC) should be partly OpenSource as well.
