There is a patched version of the IRIX client on the FTP site that corrects
a number of stability problems.  It is very stable in our environment.  We
helped development fix a memory leak that was a major problem.  It now works
well on a system that has over 2TB and 8M files.

TSM on IRIX uses the DMI (data migration interface) to performa backups and
restores (and even HSM, if you're really daring), so you need the libs to
DMI to be able to use is, install the eoe.sw.dmi package. The Irix client is
btw very unstable, and though I personally have seen very few problems with
it, still think it's the least stable client....
