Hi Xav,

It´s not. CentOS is not....but as it´s RH Enterprise based, usually works 
great, 
both as TSM Server and Client.

I am trying to install the lin-tape driver...but there are a zillion versions 
at 
the FTP site and I am not sure which one to use....

This is what uname -a shows:

Linux tsmserver 2.6.18-164.el5 #1 SMP Thu Sep 3 03:33:56 EDT 2009 i686 i686 
i386 
GNU/Linux


Any ideas?

Mario

Since you're using an IBM library with LTO-2 drives - go to 
ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/storage/devdrvr/Linux/ and use the IBM tape drivers 
rather than the TSM device driver.

See http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=663&uid=swg21082581 as well.

I didn't realise CentOS was on the supported list :)
