  1. Ibid. An additional note on the Data Facility Hierarchical Storage Manager (DFHSM): If you use DFHSM in the IBM mainframe world, you already know that it moves data to and from the storage automatically. DFHSM manages your DASD space efficiently by moving data sets that have not been used recently to alternate storage. It also makes your data available for recovery by automatically copying new or changed data sets to tape or DASD backup volumes . It can delete data sets, or move them to another device. Its operations occur daily, at a specified time, and allow for keeping a data set for a predetermined period before deleting or moving it. All DFHSM operatiosn can also be performed manually.

  1. Generically speaking, SRM refers to any storage system that can be shared by multiple clients . The term "client" refers to a software program that runs on behalf of a user . Storage Resource Managers (SRMs) are described by some vendors as middleware software modules whose purpose is to manage in a dynamic fashion what should reside on the storage resource at any one time. There are several types of SRMs: Disk Resource Managers (DRMs), Tape resource Managers (TRMs), and Hierarchical Resource Managers (HRMs).
