Considering that TSM V6 installs an instance of DB2 and expects it to be the 
only DB2 on the system, and considering that z/OS isn't anything like Windows 
or an UNIX server in how DB2 would be installed -- or how likely it might be 
that DB2 would not already be installed -- and considering the rumored lack of 
TSM V5 on z/OS customers, of course IBM has no plans to port TSM V6 to MVS, at 
least not until they get to the point that they can install TSM V6 to use an 
existing DB2 installation. 

I'm not looking forward to the day I have to start being nice to our z/OS DB2 
DBAs. I really hope we've consolidated on AIX by then. (But more because I hate 
the VTS we use on z/OS; our DB2 DBAs are mostly a cool bunch.)
