Hello Del,

thanks foy your reponse.

Do you have some ideas or fact were can be a problem between Tapes and CentOS (we can maybe give some feedback on that later on). My test installation is not yet finalising using tape because of availability but It is the roadmap.


Grazie

IBM does not officially support CentOS for the Spectrum Protect server.

The experience from the product team is that many of the Linux
distributions work and behave with similar support and capabilities for
basic functions that the product requires such as memory management,
threading, and such. The functional areas where the product team has
observed differences or variations are in support of devices, in
particular tape, and with regards to optimization and performance.

In the event that a Spectrum Protect server were run on a Linux variant
like CentOS that IBM does not explicitly test or officially support,
problem determination and resolution (in particular if it has to do with
operating system behaviors or capabilities) will only be possible using
one of the published and supported Linux distributions.

Management here is contemplating having us move our production TSM
servers to the CentOS Linux operating system, which is a free branch of
Red Hat.

Has anybody done this? What are the support issues with IBM?

(TSM Client is already supported on CentOS via "Best effort".)
