DFSMS™ supports storage management for DASD and tape. DFSMS has four components:

DFSMSdfp™ controls data, DASD, and tape storage for the operating system. DFSMSdfp acts as the link between the processor and the storage devices to provide storage, data, and device management functions. DFSMSdfp is a base element of z/OS^®.
DFSMSdss™ provides functions including moving or copying data between volumes, managing DASD space, data backup and recovery, and converting data sets and volumes to system-managed storage. DFSMSdss is an optional feature of z/OS.
DFSMShsm™ provides space management which improves DASD space usage, availability management, and application backup and recovery for disaster recovery purposes.
DFSMShsm is an optional feature of z/OS.
DFSMSrmm™ manages removable media resources, including tape cartridges and reels. DFSMSrmm is an optional feature of z/OS.

DFSMS

DFSMS consists of one z/OS element (DFSMSdfp) and four z/OS features (DFSMSdss, DFSMShsm, DFSMSrmm, and DFSMStvs). DFSMSdfp provides storage, data, program, and device management functions. DFSMSdss is a DASD data and space management tool. DFSMShsm is a DASD storage management and productivity tool for managing low-activity and inactive data. DFSMSrmm helps you manage your removable media as one enterprise-wide library across z/OS systems that can either share DASD or have TCP/IP connectivity. DFSMStvs (Transactional VSAM Services) enables batch jobs and CICS online transactions to update shared VSAM data sets concurrently.
