Hi Arnaud,
As a general IBM statement, Linux on Power is transitioning from Big
Endian to Little Endian. This has been underway for a few years. Here are
a few blogs from IBM when this started a few years ago:
https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/blogs/fe313521-2e95-46f2-817d-44a4f27eba32/entry/just_the_faqs_about_little_endian?lang=en
https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/blogs/fe313521-2e95-46f2-817d-44a4f27eba32/entry/More_FAQs_about_Little_Endian_An_Update?lang=en
This means that applications for Linux on Power are also transitioning
from Big Endian to Little Endian, including Spectrum Protect.
Spectrum Protect 7.1 supports Linux on Power Big Endian, but Spectrum
Protect 8.1 does not. Spectrum Protect 8.1 is targeted to add support for
Linux on Power Little Endian in the 1H of this year.
