Talk:Hierarchical storage management

Proposed merge
It seems to me that Hierarchical storage management and Automated tiered storage are very similar concepts. Peter Flass (talk) 15:45, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

Having worked in the HSM storage industry for the past 10 years, I heartily agree with the previous comment, in that these are identical and should be merged. Scott Atkinson - Pawsey Supercomputing Centre — Preceding unsigned comment added by 27.32.200.163 (talk) 06:42, 25 November 2021 (UTC)

Approve the merge into the HSM page provided that any nuanced differences between the two are not lost. Perhaps a section on different HSM approaches? Gusfriend (talk) 06:31, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Yes, the article should be on the concept, not one choice for marketing buzzwords to sell it. I have heard of HSM, never automated tiered storage so would prefer the merge into this one. Thanks for catching. W Nowicki (talk) 00:17, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Support the proposed merge. Marokwitz (talk) 19:02, 21 June 2022 (UTC)

DONE: The articles were merged. Marokwitz (talk) 19:46, 21 June 2022 (UTC)

3850 ¬= HSM
The article states HSM in the shape of the IBM 3850 Mass Storage Facility was (according to IBM) announced in 1974. However, the the 3850 is not HSM and the 1974 date is incorrect for 5740-XRB, Hierarchical Storage Manager (HSM). --Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz Username:Chatul (talk) 15:45, 10 August 2021 (UTC)

Section on IBM Hierarchical Storage Manager
Should details on IBM's Hierarchical Storage Manager go in this article or in Data Facility Storage Management Subsystem (MVS)? Note that 5740-XRB, HSM V1, and early releases of 5665-329, DSHSM V2, predate DFSMS. --Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz Username:Chatul (talk) 15:53, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
