It is my understanding that TSM is stabilized at the 5.5 version level on zOS. What plans do you have in the future to upgrade/migrate TSM? Will you move to another platform or stay at the 5.5 level on zOS?

I can't answer to the hardware supporting the zOS side. There is definitely a VTS, but I don't know if the Linux clients are using it. The other half of our backup strategy, though, is to use the STK 9840 drives attached to our zVM systems, with CA's HIDRO. This gives us image-level backups which we use for disaster recovery. I realize this doesn't quite answer your question, but it might give you some additional data you can use. ok r. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
