Thomas, I have implemented a TSM for Linux DRM environment - it is full
function as of December (5.2.2.0, 5.2.2.1, 5.2.2.2).

Someone in pubs should update the Admin Ref as both the 5.2 original book
(anrlrf51.pdf) and the current 5.2.2.x book (anrlrf522.pdf) contain the
same text.

        Subject:        DRM support under Linux



I just discovered the following in the "Administrator's Reference" for
the 5.2.2 level of the Linux TSM server, as part of the documentation
for the 'register license' command:

drm.lic
  License for Tivoli Storage Manager Extended Edition (this includes
server-to-server virtual volumes for database and storage pool backup).
This
is required on a source server and not on a target server.
  Note:
    The full function of disaster recovery manager is not supported on
Tivoli
  Storage Manager for Linux. Server-to-server virtual volumes for database
and storage pool backups are supported if you register the drm.lic.
Disaster recovery plans, automatic expiration of database backups, and
off-site media management are not supported on Tivoli Storage Manager for
Linux.

On the other hand, the same manual includes the various commands that
create and manage disaster recovery plans, control expiration of database
backups, and manage off-site media. Which parts of the manual should I
believe?
