HPSS is our (NOAA-EMC's) primary long term storage option.
IO operations to HPSS via r2d2 need to be established.
This will require several enhancements primarily to solo in order to handle the HPSS backend. R2D2 changes should be minimal (or maybe even None).
The work will entail adding an implementation for hpss to the copiers factory in solo.
Functionality to query the tape and obtain the contents of the tarball or files may be needed.
Note, r2d2 handles individual files. HPSS is primarily files in tarballs.
