[gpfsug-discuss] Recharging where HSM is used

[Stephen Ulmer]

I work for a partner, but I occasionally have to help customers work on cost justification that includes charge-back (or I encourage them to do show-back to alleviate some political concerns).

I’d also like to see what people are doing around this.

If I may ask a question, what is the goal for your site? Are you trying to figure out how to charge for the tape space, or to NOT charge the migrated files as resident? Would you (need to) charge for pre-migrated files twice? Are you trying to figure out how to have users pay for recalls? Basically, what costs are you trying to cover? I realize that was not “a” question… :)

Also, do you specifically mean TSM HSM, or do you mean GPFS policies and an external storage pool?
