Server is much different than client because you need to load kernel
modules. These kernel modules are very picky and I could only get the
modules to work properly with the RedHat 2.4.9-31 kernel that Tivoli
supports with TSM server 5.1.5.x

Like I said earlier I forced loaded the modules on a RedHat 2.4.9-31SMP
kernel and the server locked up hard as soon as Tivoli accessed the tape
library (reproducable).

Now that Tivoli is only supporting RedHat AS, not RedHat 7.1 like
5.1.5.x does, I am not confident that 5.2 will work on RedHat 7.1 . This
is kind of like removing support for Win2000 and only supporting Win2000
Enterprise (or whatever the most expensive version of Win2000 is).

Now you would think that with a newer release there would be more Linux
distributions supported and a newer kernel? Not so. Check out the
"Operating system requirements" below. This is pretty lame.

Of course, everybody running Mandrake or Debian can tell you that even the
4.2 client and possibly even older clients do seem to work perfectly, it's
just that IBM will not tell you it works because they have not verified (and
realistically, they can't be expected to to so... ;-)
