2.4.3. Mover Platforms
Movers are used to control the logical network attachment of storage devices and are configured to run on one or more nodes. A Mover consists of two parts: The Mover administrative process that runs on the server node, and the remote Mover process that handles the HPSS devices and data transfers. Movers can run on AIX, Linux, IRIX, and Solaris systems. See Table 1 above for a detailed list of supported platforms.
