I suppose I must not have clarified what "I" was looking for...
I am wondering when TSM is going to be support the SPARC version of
Solaris 10, as I want to move my current 5.2 server running on Solaris 9
to Solaris 10, but the server software will not install.

I could care less about x86 "right now" but I would like an answer about
Solaris 10 on Sparc and when it should be made available.
I mean cmon, the Solaris Express builds have been public since last year.

Not like IBM did not have access to the "SPARC" code at the least.

Thank you for your prompt response in regards to the question about the
SPARC support for Solaris 10.

I hope the TSM folks change their mind on this one.  I think Solaris
10 x64/x86 will be popular for some services, especially since
x64/x86 hardware is less expensive than SPARC.

While I have indicated that Intel support is not in plan, the ADSM-L forum
is really not the proper place to address TSM product requirements. If you
have a need for this support (or for any product requirement), you should
open a formal requirement through your IBM/Tivoli sales or account
representative.

Best regards,

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.

Can anyone provide information on BA client support for Solaris 10?

Time

frames?

And will it include the support of the x86 Solaris 10 both 32 and

64bit.

Thanks len

I asked about Solaris x86 TSM client support in November 2004.  On
11/20/2004, Andy Raibeck in Tivoli Storage Manager Client
Development said "There are no plans to release an x86 TSM client
for Solaris."

This is disappointing news for us since it means we'll have to use
different backup software for those hosts, or move away from TSM.

I hope the TSM folks change their mind on this one.  I think Solaris
10 x64/x86 will be popular for some services, especially since
x64/x86 hardware is less expensive than SPARC.
