There has been significant discussion on AS400 and TSM on this list in the past
so you may want to search the archives.
Basically the current interface uses TSM to provide virtual tape drives to
BRMS. Since BRMS uses a GFS backup strategy this negates TSM's advantages. It
has also been reported to be a very slow backup option although it does work.
A native os400 client has been reported to be in the works for some time but is
not yet ready for prime-time.
I did the same research as you about 2 years ago and in the end we dedicated
two 3494 drives to the AS400 and let it do its thing direct to them.

BlankHello TSMers,
I've been doing some research into adding an iSeries(AS/400) as a client to
TSM. I have little or no experience with iSeries platforms. I found a program
in AS/400, BRMS Application Client to TSM, that allows low-volume user data
backup to a TSM server.
I'm interested in any information from any TSMers that has the AS/400 as a
client...pros, cons, experiences.
Thanks,
