We are using 5.2.1.x on RedHat 8.0 . We were using RedHat 7.2 since it is supported in versions up to 5.1.7.x but I could not upgrade from 5.1.6.x to 5.1.7.x or 5.2.x.x because none of my NFS mounted volumes would vary online. I kept getting this error for all my volumes.
/var/tsm/tsmnfs5/backup13/netwaredisk240.dsm is in use by another server
Been running smooth on RedHat 8.0 though. And I could upgrade TSM version after upgrading from RedHat 7.2 to 8.0 :-)

I have a test server running on Red Hat 9. It is very stable, even though my particular version of Red Hat is not officially supported by IBM. Performance is at least as good as on a similar spec'd production machine running Windows 2000 Server. The only difference that I have noticed is that formatting disk volumes always seems to go faster on Windows than *nix - can anyone explain why? Alas I have only DASD available for storage in the Linux machine so I can't commit on the tape drives you mentioned. Also, I've had no need (as yet ;-) to call support, but I guess it's as good as IBM support usually is. No reason to expect any different, especially taking into account IBM's focus on Linux. Or did you mean device/kernel support? I found a list of that on the 'net:

Hello all -
We currently have TSM running on Solaris and have had it for about 6 years now. We are thinking about switching to Linux - Does anyone have answers to the following:
1. Anyone running TSM on Red Hat Linux AS 2.1? 2. Anyone running TSM on a X360? 3. How is the performance, stability? 4. How is the TSM support for Linux? 5. TSM on Red Hat with AIT2 or AIT3 tape drives?
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks!
