Depends on what you mean by "mainframe world". If you are referring to a TSM
client for USS on zOS, then the answer is yes. See

If you are referring to a TSM client for zOS datasets, such as VSAM, BDAM,
and the like, then the answer is no.

The fact that the TSM server runs on zLinux is coincidental, as is the FCP
support in that environment.

Subject: [ADSM-L] TSM for zLinux, open or not?

Hi,
Mainframe FICON adapters support Fibre Channel protocol. Does it mean
z/Linux and consequently TSM for z/Linux can handle backups of both
mainframe and open worlds?

Thanks
