I asked about Solaris x86 TSM client support in November 2004.  On
11/20/2004, Andy Raibeck in Tivoli Storage Manager Client
Development said "There are no plans to release an x86 TSM client
for Solaris."

This is disappointing news for us since it means we'll have to use
different backup software for those hosts, or move away from TSM.

I hope the TSM folks change their mind on this one.  I think Solaris
10 x64/x86 will be popular for some services, especially since
x64/x86 hardware is less expensive than SPARC.
